Spurs Star Victor Wembanyama Brings Euro Fan Culture to NBA with New Section

San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama is pioneering an innovative "supporter section" for the 2025-26 NBA season, drawing inspiration from European soccer and basketball. This new fan group aims to bring an atmosphere of "nonstop chants, drums, flags, and passion" to Frost Bank Center. Wembanyama will be present at tryouts for the section, which seeks passionate, high-energy fans committed to attending at least 75 percent of home games. Membership will cost $999, and the group will vote on its name. Wembanyama believes this initiative will provide crucial energy in the fourth quarter, helping the team secure wins. This development follows his decision to skip the EuroBasket tournament to recover from a blood clot that prematurely ended his 2024-25 season after 46 games.
