Fan support
The fan representatives of VfB Stuttgart 1893 e.V. build a distinct bridge between the fans, fan groups and the club. The concept of fan support was entered into paragraph 30 of the German Football Federation (DFB) guidelines and the National Concept for Sport and Security back in 1992. Additions to the DFB guidelines in 2006 further strengthened the work of fan support and the fan representatives.
The fan representatives communicate and interpret the varying perspectives and interests of the very diverse fan scene and the club. In addition, through regular collaboration with the security and stadium steward services, they also help to ensure safety on match days.
At the games, the fan representatives act as direct contact persons for the fans. Aside from the support of the fans, they coordinate all relevant fan questions ahead of away games with the hosting club. At home games the fan representatives also support people with disabilities and are in constant contact with the fan representatives from the guest team.
