American Tifo will feature one-of-a-kind artworks created by soccer supporter groups across the country, including local favorites like FC Dallas, Dallas Trinity FC, Atlético Dallas, and Austin FC. Guests will be immersed in the vibrant world of soccer fandom and culture as they explore giant fan-made banners and learn about the history and traditions of supporter groups who bring stadiums to life.
One of the tifos featured in American Tifo was created by Lunáticos Azules, the official supporter group of Atlético Dallas. “We’re a new group, but our members built and painted this tifo by hand and that passion speaks for itself. Being included in this exhibit is a tremendous honor, and getting to represent Atlético Dallas and the growing football scene in Dallas on a stage like this means everything to us. This is what supporter culture is all about.” Said Drew Gehrts, Founder of Lunáticos Azules.
Timed to coincide with the excitement surrounding this summer’s soccer celebration, American Tifo offers both locals and visitors the opportunity to learn something new and connect with soccer and each other on a deeper level.
Just like soccer brings the world together, American Tifo welcomes everyone. Both die-hard fans and newcomers will appreciate the celebration of art and community spirit that surrounds the beautiful game.
“We are excited to share the work of supporter groups from across the United States at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. The passion, creativity, and commitment of soccer fans have played a vital role in the sport’s extraordinary growth in this country. During this historic World Cup, this exhibition offers a unique opportunity to celebrate the artistry, community, and culture of supporters while connecting with soccer fans throughout the Fort Worth–Dallas area.” Said Justin Witte, Co-Director and Co-Founder of The Footy Museum.

American Tifo is included with museum admission or membership. Admission is $14 for seniors, $16 for adults, $12 for juniors, and free for children under two years old.
