Ugandan musician and Arsenal fan Ykee Benda has been recognized among notable Arsenal fans in Uganda through the club’s Emirates-led fan engagement initiative across Africa.
As part of the recognition, Ykee received an original Gabriel Magalhães jersey from last season’s Champions League campaign, among other Arsenal memorabilia.
Coming from the entertainment industry, Ykee has built a strong connection with football fans through Fan Bench, a fan community and content property he founded about two years ago.
The platform brings together football fans to banter, debate, share opinions and experiences, while creating entertaining moments before, during and after Premier League matchdays.
Fan Bench has steadily grown into a popular destination for football conversations and fan culture, blending Ykee’s entertainment background with his passion for the beautiful game.
The recognition adds another milestone to Ykee’s journey as he continues to bridge music, entertainment and football through Fan Bench.
