How Arsenal built a loyal African fan base

Focus on Africa

About this episode

After 22 years, Arsenal has won another English Premier League title. The team is one of the most popular European football clubs in Africa, and had been running a multi-million sponsorship deal with the government of Rwanda which concluded at the end of the 2025–26 season. We speak to fans across the continent to hear what this win means for them.

And with rising fuel prices in most parts of the world due to the Middle East conflict, we get insight into how fuel prices are determined in some African countries.
