The 12th man of the team, the fans of Bengaluru FC have been credited by the Bengaluru FC players of pushing them on to deliver better.
The team's home ground, Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bangalore, has a total capacity of about 24,000 and it was packed with full of passionate supporters when the Blues played Johor Darul Ta'zim on Wednesday.
The fan base of Bengaluru FC has been great since the team was founded in 2013. Home games in Bangalore are intimidating for opponents and uplifting for the home players, with banners adorning the walls and chants and cries of ‘BFC’ reverberating throughout the game.
The team's fan base definitely has played a huge role in Bengaluru FC's success and they are one of the reasons why the two-time I-League champions deserve to be in the finals of the AFC Cup.
