Established in 1910, FC St. Pauli is a socialist football club based in Hamburg, Germany. FC St. Pauli has become one of the most talked about clubs in world football, for their unwavering fandom cultivated over years. Proudly anti-establishment, St Pauli supporters are united in empathy, focusing on social issues and political activism. This is symbolised by the pirate skull and crossbones on the club’s badge. The club are unapologetically anti-racist, anti-homophobic and anti-fascist and it is these political positions that have given the club international recognition way beyond just the Bundesliga.
We followed the people that made FC. St Pauli, the club it is today.

Stop celebrating extremism
To those who dislike St. Pauli's liberal beliefs, do you prefer clubs with violent thug ultras?
Woke club no thanks
🤮
FCPORTO FAN here…grew to admired ST Pauli. Best of luck! Never Give Up!
anti fascism except for when Israel does it, wtf is that??
The result of 80 years of anti-German propaganda.
Booo booo losers
My cousin plays for St Pauli women’s team and they are nothing but a class act of an organization. Amazing to their players and supporters. Love from the USA
Please make Donald Trump your Patron I want to see something 😊
What a tonic for modern sport. Equality and anti-racism should not be ‘controversial’. I also commend the bundesliga for the 51% rule which means ownership will always belong to the fans.
Absolutely love this.
Racial/ sexual/ gender diversity isn’t actually diversity if they are all in lockstep with their opinions. 🧠
Hipster Zionists

Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, and a St. Pauli supporter who they're siding with in Gaza.
I'm from the UK and was in Hamburg one weekend in 1999 when St Pauli had a home game against Eintracht Frankfurt, I believe that it was a German Cup game. Anyway, me and my friends went along to the match and were blown away by the noise and atmosphere created by such a relativity small crowd. During and after the game we were drinking and talking to the St Pauli fans where they informed us about the club and its supporters, it seemed like St Pauli was the patron saint of the forgotten, the downtrodden and all manner of seemingly lost causes. Naturally I took St Pauli to heart and continue to follow the teams results and fortunes to this day.
What about attacking Celtic fans for showing solidarity with Palestine???
St Pauli a hipster club – never antifascist don't be fooled, like 99.9% of modern football clubs terrified of criticising Israel.
VIVA PALESTINA!! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Respect SI for bringing the extensive lore of german football to an american audience
I love St. Pauli but hate their Zionist stance. Flying Che Guevara flags and being pro occupier is shameful. Free Palestine
The worlds best club
