Hundreds of Tartan Army supporters will attend the New England Patriots game in Munich, Germany, this weekend, following their recent participation in the World Cup in Boston. The matchup against the Detroit Lions is part of the NFL International Series and is scheduled for Sunday.
The Tartan Army, which is the passionate fan group for Scottish soccer, fostered a strong relationship with event organizers in Foxborough during the World Cup. After their return, these organizers invited them to Munich for the Patriots game, providing an exciting opportunity for reunions and camaraderie.
Mike Teevan, an organizer with the Tartan Army, expressed enthusiasm about the event, stating, “It’s a brilliant chance for us to revisit Munich and meet up with our New England friends again.” The group is known for its vibrant spirit and has captured attention during previous festivities.
In a news release, the Tartan Army highlighted their innovative travel methods during the World Cup, where they rented a fleet of yellow school buses to transport fans from Boston and Providence to Gillette Stadium. This approach not only aimed to minimize costs but also gained them a beloved status among locals, thanks to their lively antics around the city.
The supporters are set to continue their celebration with an event titled “Boston in Bavaria” at Augustiner Stammhaus, a traditional beer hall in Munich. The event promises to blend New England traditions with Bavarian culture, featuring attendance from Patriots alumni and other guests.
After the game on Sunday, many members of the Tartan Army plan to travel to Switzerland for Scotland’s UEFA Nations League fixture on Monday evening, ensuring an eventful weekend filled with sports and festivities.
