AO History

Mission:
To support the United States National Team through a unified and dedicated group of supporters.

History:
The American Outlaws started in Lincoln, NE as a local supporters group. Throwing viewing parties at local bars and attending every game possible sparked excitement amongst some of the leaders of the group, who felt like they could do more. In attending these games, a lack of consistency was observed from game to game with regard to the level of supporter organization, particularly with events surrounding the game (ie tailgates, parties, etc.). We then decided to make AO a nationwide, non-profit supporter group.

Importance of Supporters to Players:
If you’ve ever wondered if your support in the stadium makes a difference, know that it does to U.S. international Frankie Hejduk. In Nuremburg, hours before kickoff of the Ghana game of the 2006 World Cup, Frankie told us, “please be as loud as you can. You don’t know how much of a difference it makes to the players.”

As we enter into a new chapter of The American Outlaws as a national organization we look forward to many more highlights and through the community we hope we can accomplish our goals of accelerating the knowledge, commitment, and organization of US fans.

Take part in next era of US Soccer Supporters and become an Outlaw.
