Who We Are

The American Outlaws is a national non-profit group dedicated to organizing support for US Soccer teams. AO Fargo is one of 200 chapters around the world. The national organization was founded in 2007 in Lincoln, Nebraska with the intent to "unite and strengthen" supporters of U.S. national soccer teams.

AO Fargo is Chapter #171 and was born after a successful string of organic watch parties during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

As of Spring 2026, we do not have an official watch party bar. We realize it’s not ideal to have multiple different watch party spots, but various scheduling conflicts have not allowed us to secure one spot for all games (yet!). We are actively working with a few different establishments to determine the best fit. Check out our events page and social media channels to see details on our upcoming watch parties and join us at the next one, wherever it might be!
