Where was Nikola Jokic seen supporting Arsenal?

Yardbarker reported on May 30, 2026 that Nikola Jokic "was seen in the stands wearing an Arsenal shirt under a blazer, celebrating alongside fans after Havertz struck inside the opening stages." ClutchPoints wrote the same day that the Nuggets center was supporting Arsenal FC during their defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. Both accounts describe what he did at the match. Neither quotes Jokic himself, so this is a tie reported by outlets, not a fandom he has stated in his own words.

Does Arsenal connect to where Nikola Jokic is from?

Jokic was born on February 19, 1995, in Sombor, Serbia, then part of FR Yugoslavia. Arsenal is a London club in the Premier League. Nothing in the material links his birthplace or his time at Mega Basket (2012 to 2015) to the club. His NBA career has been with the Denver Nuggets, who drafted him 41st in the second round in 2014.
