What Happened
During the Home Opener fixture on February 25, 2026, at Saints FC, a unique challenge took place in front of the Wingman North Stand. A fan named William participated in the Wingman Challenge, racing against the Wingman, who rides along the LED perimeter boards, over a distance of 80 meters. Despite a slow start from the Wingman, William managed to secure victory, earning a year’s supply of free beer from BrewDog.
Why It Matters
This event not only engaged fans but also highlighted the club’s efforts to enhance the matchday experience. The Wingman Challenge is designed for 2026 Saints Members, encouraging community participation and excitement around the team. William’s win and the availability of BrewDog’s Wingman session IPA at The BrewDog Stadium further promote local partnerships and fan enjoyment during the 2026 season.
What’s Next
Fans interested in participating in future Wingman Challenges can register by emailing the club with their details. The club will randomly select participants, ensuring a fair opportunity for all members. Additionally, Southampton FC continues to build on its recent successes in the Championship, with players like Flynn Downes contributing significantly to the team’s performance.
