Magic Brigade is the official supporters' club of Thrissur Magic FC, a football team based in Thrissur, Kerala, India. The club was founded on 20 May 2024 by John Christo, a passionate football fan who created the group’s initial presence on Instagram. The supporters' club was established to unite fans in support of Thrissur Magic FC as the team prepares for its inaugural season in the Super League Kerala.

History

edit

Magic Brigade was born out of a desire to create a strong, unified fanbase for Thrissur Magic FC. On 20 May 2024, John Christo, an ardent supporter of the local football scene, took the initiative to start an Instagram page dedicated to the team. The page quickly gained traction among local football enthusiasts, leading to the formation of a more formal supporters' club.

The founding of Magic Brigade was timely, as Thrissur Magic FC, previously known as Thrissur Roar FC, had just undergone a rebranding in anticipation of their first competitive season. The supporters' club adopted the new name, Magic Brigade, reflecting the team's fresh identity and the spirited nature of its fans.

Activities

Magic Brigade’s primary activity is to rally support for Thrissur Magic FC, particularly through social media. The club’s Instagram page serves as the main hub for fan engagement, where updates, news, and interactive content are shared regularly. The group plans to organize local events such as match screenings, meet-and-greets, and community outreach programs to strengthen the bond among supporters and the team. As the team’s first season approaches, Magic Brigade is also preparing to enhance the matchday experience by organizing coordinated fan activities, including chants, banners, and tifos, to create an electrifying atmosphere at games.

Identity and Symbols

edit

Magic Brigade’s identity is rooted in the cultural richness of Thrissur, known for its grand festivals and vibrant traditions. The club’s logo and colors were designed to capture the essence of Thrissur’s heritage while also embodying the excitement and energy of football. The logo prominently features elements that symbolize both the city and the sport, creating a unique emblem for the supporters' club.

Supporter Culture

edit

From its inception, Magic Brigade has aimed to build a passionate and inclusive supporter culture. The group is dedicated to making matchdays a memorable experience, with an emphasis on unity, pride, and local traditions. Fans within the Brigade are encouraged to contribute to the lively atmosphere at home games and to show unwavering support for Thrissur Magic FC, both in victory and defeat.

Membership and Organization

Magic Brigade is an open community, welcoming anyone who supports Thrissur Magic FC. While the club is still in its early stages, membership benefits are already being considered, including priority access to tickets, official merchandise, and exclusive fan events. The club’s activities are currently overseen by a small organizing committee, led by its founder, John Christo, with plans to expand as the team’s fanbase grows.

Future Prospects
