In a surprising turn of events, the Kansas City Chiefs are gaining an enormous following in Frankfurt, Germany, over 5,000 miles away from their home base. This connection between the two seemingly disparate places has been growing exponentially, culminating in the Chiefs' upcoming match against the Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt on November 5.

The journey to Frankfurt began for Senior Team Reporter Matt McMullen and a crew that included Chiefs legend Dante Hall, Director of Entertainment Teams Stephanie Judah, Chiefs Cheerleaders Cooper and Jordan, and KC Wolf's tenured lieutenant, Shawn Emerson. The trip, organized by Chiefs Director of Business Operations Katie Kemmerer, aimed to advance marketing efforts and engage with the passionate fanbase in Frankfurt.

The itinerary was action-packed, featuring a content shoot for the Chiefs' primary marketing campaign, "All Trains Lead to the Chiefs," which took place at various subway stations throughout the city, including Frankfurt Central Station. The shoot attracted attention from intrigued and enthusiastic Chiefs fans, some of whom had connections to Kansas City.

Amidst the excitement, a rooftop "Schedule Release Party" was held for over 100 dedicated German fans, who proudly wore the Chiefs' signature red attire. The event showcased the Chiefs Kingdom experience in the heart of Germany, featuring stage shows with Dante Hall, Cheerleaders, and representatives from the Chiefs' business staff. The crowd erupted with cheers as highlights from the Chiefs' victorious Super Bowl LVII were displayed on the screen, further solidifying their dedication to the team.

The trip took a more meaningful turn as the Chiefs visited two military bases near Frankfurt, expressing gratitude and support for the men and women in uniform stationed overseas. The first stop was U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden, where jerseys were presented to troops assigned to Security Assistance Group - Ukraine and leadership of the U.S. Army - Europe & Africa. The visit also included a wreath-laying ceremony to honor fallen soldiers, adding a poignant touch on the eve of Memorial Day.

At Wiesbaden, the Chiefs took the opportunity to engage with American children living on the military post, hosting a flag football clinic led by Dante Hall and a youth cheerleading clinic conducted by Cooper and Jordan. The event brought together children from diverse backgrounds to unite in the joy of sports and camaraderie.

The following day, the Chiefs visited Ramstein Air Base, the nucleus of the largest U.S. community overseas. This sprawling installation, surrounded by over 50,000 American citizens, provided the perfect setting for the Chiefs to connect with their fans. From touring an airfield to meeting hundreds of individuals at a "meet and greet" event, the Chiefs made sure to make each interaction feel special and significant.

Additionally, the Chiefs had the privilege of visiting the USO Warrior Center, a space that offers comfort and support to service members receiving care at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. The visit coincided with Memorial Day, commemorating the sacrifice of those injured in the line of duty. The Chiefs were deeply honored to spend this meaningful day alongside America's heroes.

Throughout the entire trip, McMullen witnessed the remarkable bond between the residents of Frankfurt and the Chiefs, transcending language and cultural differences. A sense of hunger for football permeated the city, solidifying Frankfurt's place within Chiefs Kingdom.

As the crew bid farewell to Frankfurt and returned to Kansas City, McMullen expressed his pride in the Chiefs for expanding their presence in Germany. The desire of the German fanbase to be part of Chiefs Kingdom left a lasting impact, further solidifying the Chiefs' growing international reach.

Deutschland, a country located nearly 5,000 miles away, is eagerly embracing the Kansas City Chiefs as their own. This unexpected alliance signifies the global appeal of the Chiefs and the unifying power of a shared love for the sport.
