Location TBD
Fall 2024
Join us for the 6th Annual Meetup!
Every year the Effzeh USA community hosts a meetup to get together, watch an 1. FC Köln match, and take in a local soccer match. We'll have local supporters to show us around, too. Follow @fckoelnUSA on Twitter for up-to-date info during the meetup. Thank you to everyone who came out to the 5th Annual Effzeh USA Meetup last year in DC. We hope to see you again this year! RSVP Link coming soon!
Friday Night Drinks
Everyone will be arriving at different times, but we will have an official welcome party at a location TBD. We highly recommend you join us on Friday night and get to meet everyone!
Event TBD
1. FC Köln Watch Party
We'll be watching a match together at a location TBD.
Local Soccer Match
After the 1. FC Köln match we'll be heading to a local match together. Ticketing is still TBD as we evaluate group tickets vs. individual sales.
Effzeh Bar Crawl
Each year we host a bar crawl leading up to the local soccer match. The exact route and bars we hit up are still TBD. The bar crawl will start after the Köln match and end at the local match.
Breakfast on Sunday
Finally, before everyone heads out on Sunday, join us for breakfast! We try to organize this early enough so people can still catch flights home if they leave on Sunday afternoon or evening. We hope you'll join us! More details TBD.
Where to Stay.
Once we've finalized the dates and location, we will be sure to include a list of neighborhoods to consider when booking your stay. Until then, stay tuned!
FAQs.
Q: Do we buy tickets to the local match or should I get my own?
A: TBD
Q: I already have tickets to the match. Can I still RSVP?
A: Yes! The RSVP site is for both locals who already have tickets, and for out-of-towners. We want to make sure to have everyone's info so we can keep you updated via email.
Q: I'm not sure if I can go or not, should I still RSVP?
A: Yes. We will email you a few times to remind you to purchase tickets, and we will keep you updated about the event to make sure you are up-to-date.
Q: Is this event family friendly?
A: Absolutely! Kids are welcome at most of the events, though the late night events at bars will likely be 21+. Everything during the day through the local match is family friendly.
Q: I don't know much about the team, is that ok?
A: Everyone started somewhere with their Effzeh fandom. Some of us were born into it, others adopted it just this year. We really hope you'll feel welcome regardless of your background. You don't have to be a diehard fan to join us.
Q: You really didn't answer my question. How do I contact you?
A: You can email us at fckoeln.us at gmail or tweet at us at @fckoelnUSA. We're happy to answer any questions you might have!
