"I think Arsenal was just supposed to be there." | Road to Kampala

9,700 km separates Kampala from North London. But that distance only makes the heart grow fonder.
Every Easter, Arsenal fans from across East Africa come together for a festival unlike any other.
A celebration of not just their shared passion for the beautiful game, but their beloved club.
And in the case of Chame The Great, his pilgrimage begins in Turkana, Kenya and ends 800km away in Kampala, Uganda.
An annual journey made by motorbike that proves football’s ability to break down all barriers, no matter the distance.
This is Road To Kampala.

When I went to Uganda I was shocked that I couldn't go 50 metres without seeing an Arsenal or Man Utd. I wish Premier League clubs visited Africa as much as they visit Asia and North America

[@99alp99fila]

Yeah I used to live in ug too this guys mostly support arsenal or man u or Liverpool

[@chris39527]

@@99alp99fila I'm a Liverpool fan. Was sad that the Liverpool numbers paled in comparison to Arsenal and United. No City fans made me happy 😊

Arsenal should do something for these people man, play a match in Kampala or something like that. True fans at 9.700km from North London

[@dondonblacksmith6734]

[@48BA]

Arsenal players should see this, honestly

[@Bleik49]

This video is great and I love it all, but Why are they doing this? How and When this pilgrimage started? These were easy questions to answer.

[@biolf1]

And there are people that say that fans that have not watched a team live are not actual fans. Just look how nonsensical that sounds.

[@huntersama7644]

still waiting for argentina story only trailer will not suffice and if it will not come out then please say so

[@buffaloblack3993]

Amen to that

Are the kits cheaper there? Here it costs €90. Considering Uganda has a lower monthly wage, how the hell they have those kits?

[@oomz1975]

Big up to the Ugandan Gunners, one love.

[@8NEXTONE8]

Amazing

[@Santiago-fn7ff]

Will the Argentina video come out?

[@jasonleon1976]

I've travelled the world extensively. And you can't get away from Arsenal and Man Utd shirts. Chelsea and City have absolutely no idea how small their fan base is compared to these two.

[@samibergqvist888]

cool

Arsenal fans did a trophy parade in uganda after beating man utd

[@respirandolondra]

Last year outside Emirates stadium there were Ugandans protesting. I don't know why but they were saying Don't visit Uganda
