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.
