ABOUT THE ORIGINAL SUPPORTERS' GROUP
When SoccerCity created the Original Supporters' Group (OSG), their intention was always to grow the base and then hand this over to us - the fans. Well, my friends in soccer, that time has come!
The Original Supporters' Group will now be independently run from SoccerCity, but the intent remains the same: bring together like-minded, soccer-loving individuals who share a passion for this sport, and this city. Those who desire to actively support the bid to bring a Major League Soccer franchise to San Diego, and ultimately support the team that (in all likelihood) follows with vigor and passion.
​
We've all had the visions, daydreamed, and fantasized.
​
We've all envisioned ourselves as one of the people in the stadium seen in the background of this very webpage. We've all forecast that home opener gameday experience. What it will feel like to march into that beautiful soccer-specific stadium in Mission Valley for the very first time. What songs we'll sing in the standing & steep supporters' section, what our Tifos will look like, how we'll celebrate goals, what the kits will look like, what players will sign for the club, how the rivalries will develop, what beer we'll have in the stadium. We can all see (and taste) it now.
​
That's the peak of the mountain. We've just got a hill to climb to get there. For now, OSG is about shifting that in-stadium gameday passion to showing both the citizens of this city and the rest of the country, that San Diego NEEDS SoccerCity, and that MLS can't possibly pass by the opportunity to plant a franchise in San Diego.
​
In addition to the support for soccer, we, as OSG, will be organizing events that also show the strength of how a supporters' group can benefit a community in a philanthropic manner. A perfect example was the Foody McFoody Face formation and the two subsequent drives that have come since, and an upcoming drive during the 2018 World Cup. There will be more to come on this topic specifically in the next few weeks. Stay tuned, we will need as many members of OSG to help as possible!
​
If you signed up as a founding member last year, you need take no action to stay on our email mailing list and stay up-to-date with the most current OSG activities.
​
If you did not sign up during the initial launch last year, we've re-opened memberships to join OSG. Please enter your information here to become a member of this vital group! At this time, we have no membership fee and therefore have no merchandise included with signing up.
​
For all members, please make sure to join the Facebook group, and follow the new twitter account, @OSG_SanDiego.
​
Please be patient as we expand the website, our social media presence, and overall coordination, this is all pretty fresh for us as well!
​
We will be working on coordinating events to gather OSG members together to benefit the bid by spreading education and good will of SoccerCity in the upcoming weeks. If you have ideas about events, please email OSG.SanDiego@gmail.com with suggestions.
​
Thank you!
