IFD 2026 | Sunderland Fans Worldwide On Why They Love The Lads!

Every year, thanks to Sunderland AFC & the BLC, we celebrate International Fans Day, where SAFC supporters from every corner of the globe jet in to be on Wearside for the weekend. Last Friday night, things kicked off with the annual Fan Party at the Fans Museum, and we were there to get in amongst the craic! Joining Gav are a whole host of supporters telling us about why they fell in love with Sunderland, and what it's like following along from abroad... Coming up: Listen in as the Lads get progressively more worse for wear... We hear from a fan from Pittsburgh who fell in love with Sunderland six years ago and is now officially obsessed! Ian from the German Black Cats drops by Mr IFD himself, Toronto-based Mackem Martin Bates, talks about his love for the annual meet-up... Fans from the Netherlands, Santander (Spain), Norway, and everywhere in between share their stories! All this and more!
