Chiki Kuruka has opened up about her childhood memories with Arsenal F.C. after the club’s dramatic Premier League title victory.
On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, Chiki shared emotional stories from her younger years as Arsenal ended their 22-year wait for the league crown.
“I’ve been a Gunner my whole life!” Chiki Kuruka said.
The media personality explained that her love for Arsenal started when she was still young. She recalled attending her first Arsenal match at the age of 12 and said the experience stayed with her for years.
“I remember my first match, I was 12, my friend’s dad had a box with his company, we played Everton, and won,” Chiki Kuruka recalled.
She also spoke about one of her strongest football memories involving her father. Chiki explained that Arsenal’s past success was an important part of her childhood, and she continued to follow the club over the years.
Memories from the stands
“I remember when we won the doubles like it was yesterday, my dad took me outside the stadium, and we just soaked in the energy with all the fans,” Chiki Kuruka said.
The Arsenal supporter also reflected on another memorable moment following the club’s FA Cup win. She explained how excited she was at the time and how she celebrated the victory in her own special way.
“Then when we won the FA, I jumped on my bike and just cycled alone because I was so excited,” she said.
Chiki further explained that she has followed Arsenal through both good and difficult moments. She said she has visited the stadium many times over the years and watched the club go through different seasons.
“I’ve now been to the stadium more times than I can remember. I’ve seen us win. I’ve seen us lose. But the spirit of Arsenal doesn’t stop!” Chiki Kuruka said.
Arsenal’s latest Premier League victory has brought back old memories for many long-time supporters of the club. The Gunners secured the title after Manchester City drew 1-1 against Bournemouth on Tuesday night, confirming Arsenal as champions for the first time since the famous Invincibles season of 2003/04.
