„We are very happy to be able to celebrate Independence Day with our American fans in this spectacular way,“ says Jörg Wacker, Executive Board Member for Internationalization and Strategy of FC Bayern München AG.

FCB Welcomes 100th US Fan Club

Since opening its New York office in the summer of 2014 FC Bayern Munich has attracted many new supporters in the USA. What started with eight fan clubs two years ago has since evolved into the largest organized fan network of any European football club in the USA.

We are very happy to welcome the 100th American fan club to our Bayern family on the American day of Independence. The fan club in question is called the “Stern des Südens South Carolina“ and is located in Greer, SC. This means FC Bayern is now represented in 37 different states as well as the District of Columbia.
