1. FC Kaiserlautern
The team close to my heart, my home team. A proud member since 2005, I haven’t missed witnessing their performances and every second spent with my friends and fans of K-Town at Fritz-Walter-Stadion has been - and will continue to be - truly special.

UE Sant Andreu
During my many years in Barcelona, Sundays were dedicated to cheering for UE Sant Andreu. Holding a season ticket, I enjoyed my time with the colorful fan community of this historic club at Narcís Sala stadium. Unfortunately, Kicker has no data available for Spain’s lower class teams. 🙁
FC Red Star Paris
My year in Paris was enhanced by third division’s FC Red Star. The left-wing fan scene reminded me of Rayo Vallecano in Spain or FC St. Pauli in Germany. Although we missed out on promotion in the last game, the days at Le Stade Bauer brightened up my weekends.

Deportivo La Coruña
I am following this team as it’s from my wife’s home city. Although the successful times in Champions League with players like Djalminha, Mauro Silva or Bebeto are passé, whenever I’m in La Coruña I enjoy moments with the family next to the Atlantic Ocean at Riazor.
