Jonas Afonso
Chair of the Maputo, Mozambique, Official Supporters Club
Watching the Champions League final at home with branch members was a truly unforgettable experience.
The emotion that ran through the environment was indescribable and when the winning goal was scored I proudly stretched out our flag.
I picked up the whistle that was around my neck, blowing it over, over and over again.
The day will forever remain in my memory.

Diptesh, Membership Officer of the Chittagong Official Supporters Club
The victory was a magical moment that made us all proud, we celebrated the win with a cheer so loud. We had the chance to experience the UEFA Champions League Final in a restaurant with our OSC members. It was an unforgettable experience!
We were surrounded by passionate supporters of both branches of Chittagong and North Dhaka, and the atmosphere was electric. Almost 500 people attended our screening. We put our heart and soul in to making this event remarkable. We watched the match from beginning to end, and we were thrilled when we saw City lift the trophy.
It was an incredible event, and we were all delighted to be there. All of our countries top sports channel broadcast our event. We hope that next year, we can all be together again to experience it all over again!

Chair of the Gurgaon Official Supporters Club
It happens to be the first year of our branch and fortunately we won the treble. I still can’t believe it, I think this branch is lucky for the Club!
We hosted a screening at a local restaurant in a very nice area of the city. We were around 20 people but just because of the screening more fans came.
It was really emotional for all of us. We waited for this moment so long and finally it happened.

In San Francisco, several our members were able to go to Istanbul to enjoy the match live.
However, almost 200, the largest crowd in the San Francisco branch history, watched the match in the pub where we meet, Maggie McGarry’s.
Blues came from far and wide with a number of Mancs in the crowd, many on vacation from places like Sydney, Australia.
Locally, one member came from Reno, Nevada, (that’s over a four-hour drive) to watch the match in camaraderie with other Blues!
It was a great afternoon and there was a lot of cheer and cheering at the final whistle!
Stephen
General Secretary of the Melbourne Official Supporters Clubs
The Melbourne Blues had their biggest turn out since becoming an Official Supporters Club in 2012 to watch the Champions League Final, even though the kick off was at five o-clock on a Sunday morning Australian time.
During the final we were up, and we were down, but we always knew somehow City would win this game and they did.
The Imperial Hotel erupted with emotion, City had done it, the wait was over, Manchester City were Champions of Europe and had won the treble, the only club to do so this century, they made us proud to be blue.

Chair of the Northern Greece Official Supporters Club
Our members were split for the final with seven of us driving all the way to Istanbul and back.

Lincoln
Treasurer of the Tallahassee Official Supporters Club
My family and I were visiting Japan, so I located the OSC in Tokyo and went and watched the Final with them.
There I met a member from Australia and another from Indonesia.
It was good to watch the Final with fellow Supporters Club members even though I didn’t speak their language. We spoke the language of CITEH!
