Arsenal owner Josh Kroenke has recognised the incredible support and celebrations from Kenyan fans following the club’s historic Premier League title victory.

The Gunners were officially crowned champions after Manchester City were held to a draw by Bournemouth, handing Arsenal their first league title since 2004 with one game left to play.

The achievement sparked emotional celebrations across the world, with Kenyan fans among the most passionate supporters marking the moment in spectacular fashion.

Across Nairobi and other parts of the country, thousands of Arsenal supporters flooded major streets waving club flags, singing club anthems and celebrating late into the night. On Sunday, huge crowds were seen marching along Thika Road in scenes that quickly went viral on social media and attracted coverage from international broadcasters including ESPN and Premier League platforms.

The celebrations eventually caught the attention of Kroenke, who reacted while appearing alongside Arsenal legend Ian Wright during a special edition of the Overlap podcast hosted by Gary Neville.

While discussing the scale of Arsenal’s global support, Wright highlighted how fans around the world had united in celebration after the title win and specifically mentioned Kenya among the countries where celebrations stood out.

“It is around the world. And this is why people were against us winning because they know what is coming. Our fanbase has been brought together properly. We now see the enormity of our club in what fans are doing,” Wright said during the discussion.

Kroenke responded enthusiastically after hearing about the scenes from Kenya, expressing amazement at the scale of celebrations from the East African nation.

The scenes in Kenya once again demonstrated the country’s deep passion for English football, particularly for Arsenal, whose fanbase remains one of the largest in the region. Social media was flooded with videos of jubilant supporters dancing on roads, climbing vehicles and chanting in celebration as the long wait for a league title finally came to an end.

For many fans, the triumph marked the end of two decades of frustration and near misses, making the celebrations even more emotional and unforgettable.
