Atlanta United FC, established in 2014, began MLS play in 2017 and won the MLS Cup in 2018. Known for their passionate fan base and star players like Josef Martínez and Miguel Almirón, the team has rapidly become a significant force in American soccer. They play their home games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, a state-of-the-art venue opened in 2017.
The stadium features a retractable roof and a unique 360-degree video board. With a capacity of around 42,000 for soccer matches, it provides an exceptional fan experience with modern amenities and excellent sightlines. The combination of Atlanta United’s dynamic play and the stadium’s advanced features has solidified Atlanta as a key destination in MLS.

Every home game Atlanta United players and supporters sign a big golden spike. Then before the game, a chosen ATLien hammers in the golden spike as a nod to the city's history of the railroad.
Additionally, after the final whistle, the player of the game is presented witha smaller golden spike as a memento.
The Atlanta United Supporters Tailgate & Fan Village begins 4 hours prior to kick off for each home match.
At 90 minutes to kickoff, the 17s gather together and march into Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Filled with flares, drums, and chants, the rowdy and proud make their presence known on matchday. Everyone is welcome to the march, no matter what age. As long as you’re repping ATL UTD, the 17s are your family.
Non-Atlanta United team apparel will not be allowed in the Supporter Section.
This includes any opposing MLS & international clubs as well as national team apparel.
I'm not exactly sure if these are official supporters chants, but view them here.
