Soroti City is set to become the focal point of football festivities as supporters of Arsenal F.C. prepare a major celebration event to mark what fans describe as the club’s long-awaited Premier League triumph, ending a 22-year domestic title drought.
The celebration, scheduled for June 6, 2026, is expected to draw hundreds of supporters from Soroti City and surrounding regions, as well as visiting fans from across the sub-region. The event comes despite Arsenal’s recent disappointment in the Champions League, where they fell short against Paris Saint-Germain F.C. over the weekend.
Organizers say the gathering is intended to celebrate the club’s reported Premier League success and to honor the loyalty of supporters who have waited more than two decades for domestic league glory. Arsenal’s last Premier League title is widely remembered as the legendary 2003–04 “Invincibles” season, making this new triumph if confirmed one of the most significant moments in the club’s modern history.
Festivities are set to begin at 4:00 PM, with a full entertainment lineup expected, including live performances, DJs, dancers, and cultural acts. The event is also expected to feature fan interactions, music showcases, and themed Arsenal celebrations throughout the evening.
Supporters are being encouraged to attend wearing Arsenal jerseys and club colors, creating a unified display of support and celebration across the venue. Entry has been set at 10,000, and anticipation is already building as preparations intensify in Soroti City ahead of the event.
Local organizers and fan groups say interest is growing rapidly, with strong turnout expected not only from Soroti City but also from neighboring districts. The event is being described by supporters as both a victory celebration and a moment of community unity centered around football passion.
Despite recent European disappointment, fans insist the mood remains optimistic and celebratory, with the Premier League title ending a 22-year wait serving as the defining achievement driving the upcoming festivities in Soroti City.
