VfL Osnabrück fans may have just produced the greatest tifo of all time.
The German second-division side's supporters went above and beyond ahead of a cup match against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, Sept. 2, displaying a functioning rollercoaster in the stands at the Bremer Brucke stadium.
The massive tifo included the words "VfL Osnabrück — a rollercoaster ride!" and a wooden cart with dummies that traveled along the tracks.

Per the BBC, the club said the tifo symbolized its history, which has been akin to a "rollercoaster ride full of ups and downs."
The display
included a timeline of highs and lows in Osnabrück's history, including a famous cup win over Bayern in 1978 as well as "scandals and bitter defeats."
Osnabrück could not repeat its heroics of 1978 on Wednesday, despite taking a shock early lead. Bayern hit back with four goals, including two from Harry Kane, to secure a 4-1 win.
After winning the German third division last year, Osnabrück has moved up to the 2. Bundesliga for the 2026-27 season. The Lower Saxony club has spent eight seasons in the 2. Bundesliga since 2000 but has never reached the Bundesliga.
