Heart of a Fan Partners with Gorilla FC to Celebrate the Spirit of Soccer in Seattle

Fans aren’t just spectators—they’re the heartbeat of sports. That belief drives the podcast Heart of a Fan, and today, we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Gorilla FC, the passionate supporters group for the Seattle Sounders.

For years, Gorilla FC has been more than just a supporters group—they’ve been a cultural movement, uniting fans in Seattle with their bold energy and unwavering dedication to the Sounders. Through art, activism, and inclusivity, they’ve redefined what it means to be a soccer supporter in the Pacific Northwest. This partnership will highlight the stories that have made Gorilla FC a beloved cornerstone of Seattle’s soccer community and explore the power of fandom to inspire unity and change.

Matthew Barry, host and producer of Heart of a Fan, expressed his excitement for the collaboration:

“Gorilla FC embodies everything we aim to celebrate at Heart of a Fan—community, creativity, and a deep love for the game. Their work goes beyond cheering in the stands; they’re building a culture that embraces all fans and inspires others to be part of something bigger. We’re excited to bring their stories to a wider audience.”

Cameron Collins, President of Gorilla FC, shared their thoughts:

“Our mission has always been to create a space where all fans can express themselves and connect through their shared love of soccer. Partnering with Heart of a Fan allows us to tell those stories in a way that reaches beyond our community and showcases the passion that drives us every matchday.”

This partnership celebrates the energy and creativity of soccer supporters and will shine a spotlight on Gorilla FC’s incredible impact, from the stands of Lumen Field to the streets of Seattle.
