The San Antonio Spurs are introducing a new premium fan club, led by their new All-Star centre, Victor Wembanyama. This Sunday, the first audition for this new super fan group begins! It’s a great chance for real true believers to get up close and personal with the squad.
Wembanyama, who has taken the league by storm since joining the Spurs, is excited to get going with the initiative. With 41 regular season home games, he argues, people have plenty of opportunities to get in and support the team. In an effort to get a jumpstart on building a rabid fan base, the Spurs said Wembanyama would be personally attending the tryout.
The membership for Wembanyama’s fan club? As a member, you’ll experience these amazing benefits and more. Save big on exclusive merchandise and be first in line for special surprise guests waiting to greet you all season long! This initiative is modeled loosely after fan clubs seen in soccer and basketball teams across Europe, aiming to create a vibrant and energetic atmosphere at home games.
Wembanyama wants enthusiastic supporters to walk through the door at a fever pitch and help the home team build an advantage. What he stresses the most is that the commitment needed is attending 75% of the Spurs’ home games this season — at least! Members will learn to chant, sing and engage in ritual, establishing a culture of respect and spirited defense of our future team.
Wembanyama expressed his optimism about the potential impact of the fan club:
“If this group of ultras reaches its full potential, I have no doubt that it’s going to help us win games in the future for sure,” – Victor Wembanyama.
Spurs, Wembanyama more concerned with fostering positive culture than winning today. They feel that fans bring an energy onto the field that can provide a life-saving surge at crucial junctures of the game. That’s particularly the case during the fourth quarter.
