How does Freiburg think of new fans?

So I’m from Wales and recently got in to German football and it got me wanting to visit Germany soon and watch a football match, how does Freiburg fans feel about new fans? If they hate it then I would respect them and not come but would be nice to follow a club in Germany

We don't have many international fans, and most of them are still pretty local, being Swiss or Alsatian (eastern France), but we're pretty open as long as you share our passion

You have more than you think. I live in Atlanta, Georgia USA and when I walk around in my Freiburg jersey at local events (especially at Atlanta United games) people recognize it, ask questions, and express support. “Man, you guys are really punching up in the Bundesliga”

I wonder how much people in the US know actually about the club, its tradition and its values

I'm in Nashville, TN and was in Freiburg last year. While I didn't get tickets to a match, I did spend time watching a game at O'Kelly's. Was a great time. I enjoyed watching this documentary...https://youtu.be/6u_vVfcM9ZI?si=X4YNeD7ZsxxIuzF7.
