ANSON'S ARMY

We Are The Front Line

Our Mission

Be the OFFICIAL supporters of all of UNC’s outstanding soccer teams. 

We want to create a passionate and dedicated group of supporters who have a presence at every game. We want to educate our fans through the inspirational power of cheers and songs. We hope to strengthen the fan base by creating a more electric atmosphere that will attract others.

Importance of Supporters

With the rich history of Carolina’s soccer programs, we need to have a strong base of supporters to match. We have the fans, but we must have organization to create a more unified culture. The more unified the fans, the stronger their presence becomes. This creates a more passionate atmosphere where team performance is strengthened and the game of soccer is cherished by the surrounding community.  This is what Anson’s Army is all about: supporting players and creating an impact.
