Guinness today unveils a new campaign for Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (FES) as part of its Premier League sponsorship. Guinness Extra is a campaign designed to put real Premier League fans at the heart of the story and deepen recognition of Guinness as the Official Beer of the Premier League across key markets, including Africa and Asia.

Inspired by the extraordinary passion of fans who follow the Premier League from afar, the campaign celebrates supporters who live the league intensely across distance, proving that fandom isn’t limited by geography – it’s built in communities, shared rituals, and the belief that matchday is bigger than the 90 minutes. Through ‘Guinness Extra’, Guinness is elevating and extending the extraordinary feeling of belonging that makes matchdays Lovely Days for fans.

The creative idea is rooted in a brand truth: Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is called extra because it was originally brewed with extra hops and a higher gravity than Guinness Draught to help preserve the beer during long sea voyages. In the same spirit, the films spotlight fans whose devotion travels through extra support, extra fandom and extra belief, even thousands of miles from their clubs.

Developed in partnership with VML UK, the campaign launches with two documentary-style hero films directed by Arthur Neumeier, set in Kenya and Indonesia. Shot using a blend of 16mm analogue film and digital footage.
