ABOUT
EFFZEH USA
Effzeh USA is a community of fans in the United States who support the best team in Germany - 1. FC Köln!
History.
Effzeh fans have existed in the United States long before this group of fans started an organized effort. A smattering of fans started online presences in Indianapolis, Washington, DC, Texas, and other places around the country. This organized effort started in Chicago in 2017, and followed soon after by other groups in Cincinnati, Omaha, and other places. In March 2023, we registered the official fan club 1. FC Köln Supporters USA. The fan club has more than 115 members over 40 states. The number of groups is constantly growing, and we'll try to keep a record of groups and individuals you can meet up with in a city near you!
Meetups.
Since 2018 the Effzeh USA community has hosted an annual Meetup for fans to congregate in one city to watch the team, explore the host city, celebrate Cologne, and grow the fan base.
