fan club

Organized admirer group

A fan club is an organized group of admirers devoted to a celebrity, sports team, band, or other public figure or entity.

Members typically share news, attend events together, and express collective enthusiasm for their shared interest.

Fan clubs range from casual online communities to official organizations with membership fees and exclusive access to their idol.

The term sometimes appears sarcastically: I'm not exactly president of his fan club.
