The members of Australia´s only Bayern Munich fanclub catch up to celebrate their team´s wins and mourn losses together.


The nationwide club has 900 followers on its Facebook page and 90 registered members.

FCB supporters ofter come together to watch games in a group, equipped with jerseys, scarfs and caps. They also sing the club´s fan chats, regardless of whether they have German as a native language.

Watching European games in Australia often means getting up really early.

The club was founded by Julian Farrell. He as well as many other members regularly travel to Europe in order to watch their team live. Without having organised a ticket, Julian made his way to London, where the Champions League final between Bayern and Dortmund took place in 2013:
