About NASSU
The independent voice of sports supporters nationwide
Our Mission
The National Sports Supporters Union exists to give fans a collective voice in the sports they love. We are an independent, democratic organization that represents supporter interests in discussions with clubs, leagues, and governing bodies.
Founded by supporters, for supporters, we believe that fans are the lifeblood of sport and deserve meaningful representation in decisions that affect their experience, their clubs, and the future of the games we all cherish.
Unlike traditional supporters clubs that may be affiliated with or run by teams, NASSU maintains complete independence, ensuring our advocacy is always focused on what benefits supporters, not what serves commercial or institutional interests.
Our Values
Independence
We are entirely independent from clubs, leagues, and commercial interests. Our loyalty is to supporters only.
