Faninitiative Bochum e. V.

Faninitiative Bochum e. V. is an organised supporter association connected with VfL Bochum 1848. Founded in 2013, the association has developed a role that combines matchday support, away travel and wider work around Bochum fan culture.

The group regularly organises supporter travel and maintains an information point for fans around home matches. Its activities also include fundraising, community projects and campaigns linked to supporter rights and local social causes.

Faninitiative Bochum remained visibly active throughout 2026, including organised away buses for VfL fixtures and new supporter initiatives published through its own channels.
