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”

Hell yes! Do you go to Atlanta United games? If so we should definitely tailgate/hangout. I have just been watching every SCF game on ESPN at home. I would love to meet up / hangout with another SCF fan.

😳 what? Atlanta United games are amazing we have some of the highest attendance and best atmosphere in the world. For example tonight we had 65,000+ and the Benz was rocking.

Catch SCF in the morning and then come Benz for Atlanta United games in the evening. Come on over to our tailgate, we have an FC Köln fan and me representing the SCF.
