Have you ever found it difficult to get together with other U.S. soccer fans? Wouldn’t you have liked to know where they gathered the night before a game? Even if you were thousands of miles away from home?  

Back in 2007, a group of friends who had experienced those difficulties created the American Outlaws (AO). This U.S. soccer fans organization, with an inclusive and accessible atmosphere, supports our men's, women's, and youth national teams wherever and whenever they take the field.  

With 30,000 members and 200 chapters across the world, the AO have largely accomplished their initial goals. “We have built a real community, both locally and nationally. We consistently support our national squads making sure we are at every single U.S., men’s and women’s game anywhere, no matter its significance — be it U.S.-Barbados or U.S.-Mexico,” said Justin Brunken, one of its founders.  

The AO also provides local meeting places for game watching. “In a small community like, for instance, Lincoln, Nebraska, everyone knows that they can go to the bar that hosts the AO locally and watch the game together and build this community.” They are confident that those who join the AO for the first time at a U.S. soccer game will become supporters for life.  

The AO members have benefits like discounts on tickets to support U.S. soccer games, travel packages, parking fees, and merchandise, among others.
