The decline in attendance for the annual subscription cards of the Royal Army Fans does not reflect a lack of popular interest or a decrease in loyalty at all, but is closely linked to the loss of trust in the current club administration, as confirmed by the Royal Army Fans Association in its recent statement today. The association pointed out that the military fans have always been the main support of the team, through their continuous support in the stands and their effective contribution to the club’s revenues.
The association emphasized that the fans cannot be just a source of income or a number in the accounts, but are a key partner deserving respect and appreciation, and it is necessary to defend their interests. This partnership demands the presence of a clear sports project, achieving results worthy of the prestigious history and value of the Royal Army club, in addition to adopting a responsible communication policy by the administration.
Press reports indicated that last season witnessed large fan attendance and significant financial revenues, yet this did not translate into the hoped-for titles. The Royal Army Fans Association confirmed that the top priority should be to provide ideal conditions for serious competition and winning championships, instead of focusing on increasing ticket prices or exploiting the fans’ attachment to the club.
At the end of its statement, the association affirmed that the real problem does not lie with the Royal Army Fans themselves, but in the lost trust between the fans and the administration. It noted that restoring this trust will not be achieved through media campaigns or official statements alone, but requires serious work, absolute transparency in dealings, and most importantly tangible results that restore the team’s glories and the aspirations of its loyal fans.
Accordingly, the message is clear: fans are not just a revenue machine, but the beating heart of the club, and a partner whose voice deserves to be heard and whose legitimate ambitions to see their team compete for titles with confidence and transparency must be met.
