"Kenya is a country that loves football," Ruto explained. "We don't just watch the Premier League; we live it, breathe it, and argue about it every weekend." He emphasized that people from different clubs, including Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City, can feel the energy and excitement of football across the country.

Ruto expressed his pride in being an Arsenal fan and acknowledged that the team has not had an easy time in recent years. However, he believes that the team's style and spirit are now coming back. He encouraged other teams in the Premier League and across Europe to watch out for Arsenal, and he sympathized with Manchester United fans, who are struggling this season.

Arsenal is currently leading the Premier League table with 19 points from eight matches, while Manchester United is in ninth place with 13 points from the same number of games. Arsenal has won six games, drawn one, and lost one, while Manchester United has won four, drawn one, and lost three. The two teams have already played each other this season, with Arsenal winning 1-0.

Ruto also talked about Kenya's love for football and its talented players, including former Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama, who played for the Kenyan national team and has represented the country on the world stage. The President emphasized that his administration is committed to nurturing talent and providing opportunities for young people through sports academies, community facilities, and the creative economy.

Arsenal will play against Crystal Palace on Sunday, while Manchester United will face Brighton at home on Saturday.
