Guinness Matchday on Tour Lights Up Nansana

The Guinness Matchday on Tour turned Hamz Turf in Nansana into a football and entertainment hub on Sunday, September 14, as fans came together to celebrate the return of the Premier League.

The evening’s climax was the Manchester Derby, where supporters braved the chilly night to witness Manchester City dominate their rivals.

Phil Foden’s first-half strike and an Erling Haaland brace in the second half sealed a commanding 3-0 victory, sending the City faithful into raptures while United fans endured another painful night.

Earlier in the day, the tour had kicked off with Burnley against Liverpool, streamed live on the giant Guinness Matchday truck screen. Mohamed Salah’s stoppage-time penalty gave the Reds a 1-0 win, sparking jubilant scenes among their fans in Nansana.

But the event wasn’t only about football. From the “Matchday Minutes” challenge, where fans won Guinness merchandise by predicting game-changing moments, to ice-cold drinks shared among friends, the day offered countless memorable experiences.

Entertainment kept the crowd buzzing throughout. DJ Handsome from Ssese Nation delivered back-to-back urban hits, while MC Bry P kept the tempo high with lively hosting. Galaxy FM’s Detacha Sakalaman added his signature energy, whipping up excitement ahead of the night’s headline performance.

When Rickman Manrick hit the stage, the atmosphere shifted from a watch party to a full-blown concert. His performance of crowd favorites like Bango Baliwanika, Naki, and Enjoyment had fans singing and dancing long after the final whistle, perfectly closing out the night.

Guinness Brand Manager Denise Nazzinda praised the fans’ energy and highlighted the brand’s commitment to making football viewing unique.
“Guinness Matchday on Tour is all about celebrating the passion of the game while giving fans an unforgettable experience,” she said.

The tour continues across Uganda throughout the Premier League season, promising fans more live match screenings, giveaways, and music in the months ahead.
