RCB FC Mangalore at the RCB 12th Man Huddle
Two years ago, what began as a small initiative with a few videos, posts and a simple desire to bring RCB fans together slowly began to take shape.
There were no expectations of recognition. No plans of how far the journey would go. And certainly no imagination that one day, we would get the opportunity to represent Mangalore on a global RCB platform.
There was just one thing that brought us together our unconditional love for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Being part of the RCB 12th Man Huddle was therefore not just another event for us. It was the realisation of a dream that once seemed almost impossible.
To see RCB fans from different parts of India and across the world come together under one roof was an experience that is difficult to put into words. Different cities, different backgrounds and different journeys yet all of us united by the same colours, the same passion and the same love for RCB.
And for RCB FC Mangalore, being among just 18 fan clubs from across the globe made the occasion even more special.
Representing RCB FC Mangalore, the event was attended by Founder & President Waseem, Social Media Manager Hayeef, Videographer Rohit, Event Head Nidhi, Designer Aadhya G, and PR Abhijith N Kolpe.
From Fans to a Global RCB Family One of the biggest takeaways from the Huddle was the opportunity to interact closely with the RCB management and hear directly from the people behind the franchise.
Being part of a podcast featuring Shreyanka Patil, Jitesh Sharma and Prathyoosha Kumar, hosted by Mayanti Langer, was a memorable experience. Listening to their journeys, perspectives and experiences and hearing from the RCB leadership gave us a completely different perspective of what it means to be part of the RCB family.
But perhaps the most valuable part of the Huddle was something much simpler: conversations between fan clubs.
We had the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with fellow RCB fan clubs from Nepal, Kerala, UAE, Mumbai, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Hyderabad, Mysuru, Belagavi, Bengaluru, Goa, United Kingdom, Namma Team RCB and RCB Fan army.
Every fan club had its own story, its own initiatives and its own ideas. Sharing experiences, discussing what works, exchanging suggestions and learning from one another made us realise just how powerful the RCB fan community truly is.
We came to the Huddle as individual fan clubs.
We left feeling like one family. Four Trophies. One Unforgettable Memory.
Another moment that felt almost unreal was getting to see the four trophies up close.
For years, the trophy cabinet was a dream we kept believing in. We cheered, waited, hoped and celebrated every milestone along the way.
To finally stand beside those trophies, see them up close and capture those memories in photographs was incredibly special.
For fans who have spent years supporting the team through every high and low, that moment carried an emotion far beyond a photograph. It was a reminder of everything we had cheered for and everything RCB had given its fans.
The trophy cabinet that once felt empty now has memories we can proudly look back on and getting a picture with those trophies made the moment even more unforgettable.
A Walk Through RCB History The jersey wall was another highlight.
Standing in front of the jerseys, especially the ones that took us back to the inaugural edition of the league, felt like taking a walk through RCB's history. Every jersey carried a story. Every design brought back a memory. And every glance at those colours reminded us of how long this journey has been not just for the team, but for millions of fans who have grown alongside RCB. A Moment We Will Always Remember.
For a fan club that began just two years ago with a few initiatives and videos, created without any expectations of where they might lead, the RCB 12th Man Huddle felt surreal.
We never imagined that something started so simply would eventually take us to a platform where we could represent Mangalore among RCB fan clubs from across the world. The Huddle reminded us of something important: sometimes, the dreams we never dared to expect are the ones that come true.
RCB 12th Man Huddle was more than an event for us. It was a celebration of the journey, the community and the dream that brought us all together.
RCB FC Mangalore would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the RCB Management for giving us the incredible opportunity to be part of the RCB 12th Man Huddle.
A special thanks to Sriram Sullia for creating an experience that we will cherish for a lifetime.
