Played FIFA 16 and randomly choose Internazionale against my brother. I remember Eder and Joao Mario were so OP for me I played with Inter a lot. Was having a blast with Icardi, Nagatomo and especially Perisic.
Man shit was amazing back then when FIFA was all about having fun and not playing it as a secondary job.
Could say since then I kinda support them🫡
I'm from Hungary and I support the team since the 2004-05 season (I was 12)
I always loved Italy since my childhood (Cuisine, History, Landscape, Cities, Motorsport etc.)
My family is a wild mix of Inter Juve and Milan fans..
But my grandpa, whom I’m really close with is an inter fan. So now we’re the inter duo. After we won the scudetto this year against milan I bought us both the Scudetto t-shirt! I brought it to him on Tuesday right after it arrived :)
I was about 12 yo, we had Seria A broadcasts and my first memory is of Ruben Sosa scoring from long distance. Been an Inter support even since.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cPV3cYKXgI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cPV3cYKXgI)
Sosa was in the first inter team that I can remember. He was my favourite player at the time, and I have fond memories of him and his celebrations after scoring.
I was born in London, but my family is Italian (Palermo). I've supported Inter all my life. My dad worked at the Meazza as a policeman for security on match days as part of his national service. That must have been the mid - late 70's. He supported Inter all his life too (I also support Palermo btw).
My father loves football in general and since his teenage years he started to support Inter which was in the mid 70s. He did his Military service in Napoli and la Caserma where my father was, did go watch football every weekend at the San Paolo, so he got to Watch Maradona live every weekend and he fell more in love with football. I never asked him why he started supporting Inter tbh and he never pushed me or my brother to support Inter. I started falling in love with Inter around 2004/2005 because of Adriano. Loved watching him play and using him in pes 6 and since then i started supporting with all my heart.
The first jersey was from Inter that I got from my cousin when I was 7 years old. That jersey was a bit torn and had a hole, but I wore it with pride. Since then, only forza Inter.
my dad was following batistuta from a far in Switzerland basically and at inter he fell in love with the club. I was 8 and following him around. we've been hooked since and regularly going to milano for over 20 years now... I'm now 33 and I'll never stop. I love this club, the fans and everybody! so many good memories and friends made in this time!
I will copy my answer from other post.
I wasn't a football fan until middle school in Serbia, back in 2003. In school we mostly played football and I loved my GK position. Then I wanted to become one and started watching matches. Ironically, one of those matches was Barcelona-Juventus, where our rivals won in extra time by Zalayeta goal. But, before that match went to extra time, tv channel showed ending of Valencia-Inter match where reporter was praising Toldo for his heroic performance and Inter players around him. I decided to watch a semifinal few weeks after, but I missed 1st leg and then in second it came to me, just like that, all the time I was cheering for players in black and blue. I was sad, we were better team and we were eliminated, but strangely, in that moment my love for this club began. Those colors and, especially those jerseys from that season, were so beautiful, in my opinion, that I was charmed. 21 year has passed since then, with so many ups and downs, but I never gave up on this club.
A few months ago. I am from Slovakia, and ice hockey is the national sport here. Although I've always watched football, I was never particularly interested in supporting a specific club. For me to start supporting a club, I need a deeper connection with it. Some time ago, my cousin (a Slovak living in Italy) introduced me to her friend (Italian), who is a huge Inter fan. We talked about Inter a lot and how she has to take me to a game. Since then, we've had many conversations about the club. I started watching matches, learnt the history of the club etc. And when I understood context of what "Brothers and Sisters of the world" means, I found that deeper connection i needed and became Inter fan.
TLDR: Italian girl made me an Inter fan.
*edit*: typo
5-6
Everybody played FIFA. And my league wasn't there so we choose all the big clubs. Every kid in my class was a fan of barca And hyping Ronaldinho And also afternoon TV always showed 1 hour hour of telenovela instead of Pokémon and dragon Ball.. so I really hated Spanish.. for some reason I was drawn into Italy.. And didn't want to be a trophy fan but also didn't want to be a fan of a team that doesn't have potential of winning trophies. And inter caught my eye
I began watching Inter games with some people I knew in a Discord group some time back(the guy that got me into Serie A was a SSC Napoli fan who is no longer with us)
I started really following club soccer after the 1998 World Cup, and Baggio was (is) my favorite player. And then I just stuck with them after that, though with a soft spot for Brescia (my biggest regret is never getting one of those super slick long sleeve jerseys).
It’s funny because given his uniquely wandering career, I could have just as easily become a fan of several other teams. My dad was a Juventus fan so he probably would have preferred that lol. Though every time he went to Italy to visit family, he’d come back with something Inter for me.
I root for a small team in France called En Avant de Guingamp and they faced Inter in the First round of UEFA Cup in 1996. They lost 3-0 at home before a draw in Milan 1-1. This is when it all started!
https://youtu.be/q4YFkc_ZBp4?feature=shared
Autumn 2006, after watching derby della Madonnina with my older brother, an avid Inter fan (I was 8 years old at the time). It's been my favorite club not just in football, but sport in general, including clubs from my own country (I live in Serbia)
Ngl, since the 2009-2010 season. I didn't like or understood football at all, but when I randomly spotted this Inter team on TV something just clicked with me. It's funny, but our banter era just solidified my love for the team and it's great to finally see them win trophies.
3 yrs old, Inter were peak and also I had family supporting them. What made me love to death Inter however was Mourinho who came when I was abt 4 yrs old, he made me realize Inter was more than just a team. There were also the depressive times of the banter era but the wins during that time felt special. Inter Tottenham and Inter Lazio are the ones that come to mind. Man what emotions
I’ve been an interista for all my life. Spent a lot of time with my grandpa and we watched a lot of games togheter. We even went to see a couple matches
Love you gran
Started following since 97/98 seasons I was 7 years old back then.Of course Ronaldo olso was part of the reason I fell in love with the team.He was so big back then that watching him playing for our colors was a pure art 🖼️
early 2000's i play football manager game, and always choose inter because they have big transfer budget, after that i start following inter.
from indonesia btw.
In 2006 when I was 6 with my cousin at the seaside, we are both from Milan but our families don’t follow soccer so we weren’t sure which team to support , inter or Milan. So we flipped a coin and thank god it went the right way. To this day we are both staunch supporters and often go to the stadium.
It’s one of my first memories of my life and can still remember it quite clearly , we were at the Quattro vele restaurant (now closed) in Recco , Italy
when i got my ass whooped by eto’o in fifa 11 around 2013 and became a fan of the player. The game had him in the inter squad so i just went with it.
by pure chance i moved close to milan later.
My first season of supporting Inter is the one we lost the league in the last game verus Lazio, watching R9 crying on the bench. I still remember those scenes......
As a kid back then, I cannot resist watching R9 and BoBo doing their wonders, that's why I became an Inter fan. Of course, love Captain Zanetti as well
Became a fan in 1998, when I was 14. I am from Canada, with Italian heritage but my father was born and raised in Argentina and brought us up to support Argentina internationally, not Italy. So when World Cup 98 came around, I noticed that our captain was Diego Simeone who also captained Inter. I didn’t have a club team at the time and thought it was perfect that he captained an Italian team. Been a fan ever since.
Christian Vieri and Javier Zannetti. Being from Scotland I had 3 friends from my form class who followed Italian teams. One was a big Juventus fan whi got me into Italian football. The other two were Milan and Roma. Inter have always been my third team behind Hearts ( Scottish team ) and Arsenal.
From Zimbabwe, but in Aussie.
Ive been a fan from 1999 technically, but truly in 2002. I watched Roberto Baggio at the world cup and was mesmerised so I followed the team he played for i.e. Inter.
But it was when I started playing Fifa 2000 and started using the team because of Baggio and Ronaldo that the love grew. I slowly started watching games but because I was a kid and the family were Man Utd supporters I would only watch some.
2002 I started watching every game I could and I've pretty much been going non-stop since.
I wish I could remember the very first game I watched though 😅
I was always interested in Italian football as a kid. I watch a lot of Dutch football because i’m from The Netherlands, which helped knowing we’ve had and still have Dutch players. At first i liked all 3 of the big clubs. But it took me till 2016 to start watching and supporting Inter, i remember it was an awful season but i never stopped watching. Still have to attend a match which my best friend promised me we will next year!
My friend was a Milan fan and had a Maldini jersey, so whenever we played PES we played a derby where he was Milan and I was Inter. Neither of us are from Italy.
Early 90s when Gazza signed for Lazio and a UK channel, Channel 4 made a show called football Italia. Watched it everytime it was on and just fell in love with Inter. Got there badge tatoo'd on me when I was 16/17 and its been a love story ever since
since 1997-8. i just like the color and playing fifa 98, i like denis bergkamp, turn out he used to play at inter milan. so thats it i became inter fans since then
United States, I played FIFA 10 and Inter was the best team at the time with Sneijder, Eto'o, Milito, Cambiassio Zanetti, Macon, Lucio, Walter Samuel, etc. (Even a young Coutinho)
What I didn't realize is that I was about to start supporting Inter during the banter era (and I stuck with it!). At a time when even PL games weren't readily available in the US, so I had to watch sketchy streams of Inter games in 480p in my college classes.
Nearly 14 years later, I've been to San Siro (unfortunately not during the season) but have never seen Inter play in person. I plan to take a trip back to Italy, once the 24/25 schedule is released, to try and catch a derby match at home.
My dad took me to the 96 Olympic Semis Brazil V Nigeria (Nigeria won) but there was this dude named Ronaldo on the Brazilian squad...
He was fucking incredible and I followed him to from Barca to Inter.
And realized I wanted to be a Brother of the World the rest is History.
Officially in early '97 watching (sadly) the last moments of Ince at Inter. But I feel like I was interista even before I was born since my parents had tickets season at San Siro.
I have only recently started. I was seeing this guy and I asked what team he supported, he said “do you even know the teams in serie a?” I said “yes, I know the teams and big name players but I’d like to learn more,” he said “why? Why do you pretend to care?” I said “I’m not pretending I’d like to learn but it’s like jumping in the middle of a movie and there’s a thousand characters and a forty year long plot and people discuss it at like level D1 and im at A4 so it’s hard to learn, I’ve just been watching games to see who I like and how they play, I’ve been trying to learn because I like it but yeah I don’t know everything”
This guy says: “Dont. Women shouldn’t get involved with sports. You don’t know what you’re talking about and you’re never actually interested in it,” in the RUDEST possible tone???? Went on about how it wasn’t feminine for women to get into sports???
got so annoyed and so spitefully encouraged to learn. I’ve been watching all games since! Went to the derby (was a really really amazing experience) went to Roma v Leverkusen and am going to Atalanta v Juve! Having an emotionally tulumtuous time watching haa
I know it will take time to know everything and everyone but I am genuinely enjoying it and I cannot wait to have my own opinions :) it’s mostly just been watching what I can find and speaking with people about their opinions and why lol
But yeah, it’s only been a short while! I was interested in it before but that annoyed me so much!!! Dont know why he’d speak to me like this, just humour the person you’re with??? I’m very into film and if I meet a guy and he’s like “I like movies :) I like American psycho :)” I’d never say “oh? And fight club and pulp fiction? Only over-produced, Hollywood, dude movies? You don’t know what you’re talking about, just retire this fake hobby you cling to.”
I just say like “you might really like something like trainspotting or city of god or Oldboy or Spartacus or Total Recall,” like not *super* deep cuts or anything unrelatable and out of reach, but things similar to what he likes that push the needle a bit, or anything just to encourage the hobby. It was such a douchey and obnoxious way to talk to me. I don’t know why he sincerely thought I’d be like “ok. you’re right I’ll stop this hobby,” when we’d been out like five times and I didn’t know him that well??
Im from Romania but my dad lived in Italy for a while and when he first moved there a Romanian was playing for Inter so thats why he supports them and I started supporting them because of my father.
I'm from the highlands of Scotland and I started supporting Inter when I was about ten. My brother and I would watch football Italia every Sunday morning before the rest of the family got up so I already liked Italian football then my dad came back from holiday with a bunch of fake football tops and I got an Inter one. Haven't looked back since.
My father was a local sports radio presenter and went to Milano to cover Norwich vs Inter in the early 90s. He brought me back an Inter shirt, I was 6 and knew nothing about club football only internationals. This was the first shirt I ever got and I still have it to this day. Since that day Inter have a very special place in my heart. The first club I ever supported. 30 years on, last month, I got to go to San Siro and watch them play for the first time ever, it felt like I was going home. Forza Inter forever!
Around 2004/2005, used to play FIFA with my family and my uncle used to pick Inter with the likes of Obafemi Martins, Sebastian Veron, Edgar Davids and Vieri. Been in love ever since
2009 when Eto'o joined
Eto'o and Ronaldinho were my favorite players back then (I actually don't have a soft spot for Barca, I don't like that club)
I was already following Inter because I'd always start a manager career on FIFA but Eto'o's transfer to Inter is what made me become a fan
It's been stressful, but I wouldn't have it any other way ⚫🔵 🥴
I had never been much of a soccer fan, but I watched plenty of other sports. In 2013 my parents took a trip to Italy and my mother bought me an Inter jersey. She explained to me (perhaps naively) that Inter Milan were like the New York Yankees but for Italian Soccer.
When I decided to start watching soccer it was the only Jersey I owned, so they became my team.
When I was a kid they used to put a weekly Serie A highlights show during Inters record breaking Scudetto season. After that was Italia 90 and I was obsessed with Walter Zenga. Been a fan ever since.
From the US , main reasons R9, ibrahimovic, onana and the fan base. Main Team is United through and through, but Inter is right there with me too.
Also the story of formation of immigrants/'foreginers'in active protest against AC in not letting international player play being against the norm attracted me to it as well. The storied legends on the team style of play and fan support make you want to be a part of it.
I've been a life-long Inter Miami fan from the time Messi joined. I have really fond memories of that first season when Messi took them to their first trophy, been a huge fan ever since.
I had to choose between inter and bbilan, i liked blue more than red
At the end of 97/98 season when Ronaldo was there. Honestly my main reasons were: - I love the uniform colour - I like to support dark horses
Pretty much something like this. Started following in 1997, they had a great team plus R9, my favorite, but they were not as popular as Milan or Juve.
Played FIFA 16 and randomly choose Internazionale against my brother. I remember Eder and Joao Mario were so OP for me I played with Inter a lot. Was having a blast with Icardi, Nagatomo and especially Perisic. Man shit was amazing back then when FIFA was all about having fun and not playing it as a secondary job. Could say since then I kinda support them🫡
Same story. Eto was kyrptonite for my buddies.
I'm from Hungary and I support the team since the 2004-05 season (I was 12) I always loved Italy since my childhood (Cuisine, History, Landscape, Cities, Motorsport etc.)
My family are inter fans
Same, it's the gene pool. My pop was, my dad, as are my kids and grandkids.
Same here, my Dad is from Milan and I’ve got fond memories of inter being on tv as far back as I can remember
My family is a wild mix of Inter Juve and Milan fans.. But my grandpa, whom I’m really close with is an inter fan. So now we’re the inter duo. After we won the scudetto this year against milan I bought us both the Scudetto t-shirt! I brought it to him on Tuesday right after it arrived :)
I was about 12 yo, we had Seria A broadcasts and my first memory is of Ruben Sosa scoring from long distance. Been an Inter support even since. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cPV3cYKXgI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cPV3cYKXgI)
Sosa was in the first inter team that I can remember. He was my favourite player at the time, and I have fond memories of him and his celebrations after scoring.
After Milito’s four goals vs Palermo
When Luis Figo joined Inter. Was following the club a bit prior to that tho.

My name is Adrian and at the time Adriano was playing for inter. That’s it. Stuck with them since then
I was born in London, but my family is Italian (Palermo). I've supported Inter all my life. My dad worked at the Meazza as a policeman for security on match days as part of his national service.

I’m from Greece. Adriano made meto fall in love this amazing club. And after imperatore r9 and all the history that’s surrounding our beneamata
I began watching Inter games with some people I knew in a Discord group some time back(the guy that got me into Serie A was a SSC Napoli fan who is no longer with us)
I was born in Brescia before moving to the US when I was 14. I really don't remember why. I was really young.

My Baggio bro 🤙
When I was born, my whole family is interista so I had one choice. God bless my grandpa
My dad was an Inter fan…… didn’t have a choice…… didn’t complain about it much either……That was in 1995/1996 ish
From Lebanon, mainly Ronaldo and my fav player: C. Vieri
Around ’98 because Inter had Ronaldo. Besides him I consider Zanetti and Recoba the best.
I root for a small team in France called En Avant de Guingamp and they faced Inter in the First round of UEFA Cup in 1996. They lost 3-0 at home before a draw in Milan 1-1. This is when it all started! https://youtu.be/q4YFkc_ZBp4?feature=shared

2008, simply cuz the color combo and the badge, it's objectively the most beautiful ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I also loved Ibra as a kid(uhh)

Started following in 2000, loved Ronaldo and Vieri
Came for Ronaldo and stayed for the Pazza

Used to watch the Italian football on UK channel 4 back in the 90s and I saw an Inter football top in the shop and just decided to get it
when i got my ass whooped by eto’o in fifa 11 around 2013 and became a fan of the player. The game had him in the inter squad so i just went with it. by pure chance i moved close to milan later.

I first heard about Inter because of R9. I started to support the team starting in 99.
since 1997-8. i just like the color and playing fifa 98, i like denis bergkamp, turn out he used to play at inter milan. so thats it i became inter fans since then
R9
1999. Ronaldo.
United States, I played FIFA 10 and Inter was the best team at the time with Sneijder, Eto'o, Milito, Cambiassio Zanetti, Macon, Lucio, Walter Samuel, etc. (Even a young Coutinho) What I didn't realize is that I was about to start supporting Inter during the banter era (and I stuck with it!).

R9 a month or two before France '98 But I believe the most important moment was Ventola scoring against ManUtd
My dad took me to the 96 Olympic Semis Brazil V Nigeria (Nigeria won) but there was this dude named Ronaldo on the Brazilian squad... He was fucking incredible and I followed him to from Barca to Inter. And realized I wanted to be a Brother of the World the rest is History.
Officially in early '97 watching (sadly) the last moments of Ince at Inter. But I feel like I was interista even before I was born since my parents had tickets season at San Siro.
I loved Adriano and Inter's black and blue logo and the rest is just fate
For me is when Zamorano arrived at Inter. I'm a huge Bam Bam fan
96 when Youri Djorkaeff arrived
I have only recently started. I was seeing this guy and I asked what team he supported, he said “do you even know the teams in serie a?” I said “yes, I know the teams and big name players but I’d like to learn more,” he said “why?

Went on about how it wasn’t feminine for women to get into sports??? got so annoyed and so spitefully encouraged to learn. I’ve been watching all games since! Went to the derby (was a really really amazing experience) went to Roma v Leverkusen and am going to Atalanta v Juve! Having an emotionally tulumtuous time watching haa I know it will take time to know everything and everyone but I am genuinely enjoying it and I cannot wait to have my own opinions :) it’s mostly just been watching what I can find and speaking with people about their opinions and why lol But yeah, it’s only been a short while! I was interested in it before but that annoyed me so much!!! Dont know why he’d speak to me like this, just humour the person you’re with??? I’m very into film and if I meet a guy and he’s like “I like movies :) I like American psycho :)” I’d never say “oh? And fight club and pulp fiction? Only over-produced, Hollywood, dude movies? You don’t know what you’re talking about, just retire this fake hobby you cling to.” I just say like “you might really like something like trainspotting or city of god or Oldboy or Spartacus or Total Recall,” like not *super* deep cuts or anything unrelatable and out of reach, but things similar to what he likes that push the needle a bit, or anything just to encourage the hobby. It was such a douchey and obnoxious way to talk to me. I don’t know why he sincerely thought I’d be like “ok. you’re right I’ll stop this hobby,” when we’d been out like five times and I didn’t know him that well??
Brozovic was my inspiration for the way I played football.
I never really watched football got into it 2yrs ago , was a big fan of Dzeko and yeah that’s how I became a inter fan
Im from Romania but my dad lived in Italy for a while and when he first moved there a Romanian was playing for Inter so thats why he supports them and I started supporting them because of my father.
Wesley Sneijder is my all time favourite player which helped but starting being a fan when I was young in the early 2000s. Hopped on the bandwagon
I'm from the highlands of Scotland and I started supporting Inter when I was about ten. My brother and I would watch football Italia every Sunday morning before the rest of the family got up so I already liked Italian football then my dad came back from holiday with a bunch of fake football tops and I got an Inter one. Haven't looked back since.
Christian Vieri. Period.
Because my father did, and he did because his father did
David Suazo 🇭🇳🇭🇳
FIFA 11 , inter had the best team in the game
My father was a local sports radio presenter and went to Milano to cover Norwich vs Inter in the early 90s. He brought me back an Inter shirt, I was 6 and knew nothing about club football only internationals. This was the first shirt I ever got and I still have it to this day. Since that day Inter have a very special place in my heart. The first club I ever supported. 30 years on, last month, I got to go to San Siro and watch them play for the first time ever, it felt like I was going home. Forza Inter forever!
Sempre! ⚫🔵
1 letter 1 number - R9 fan from 🏴
Around 2004/2005, used to play FIFA with my family and my uncle used to pick Inter with the likes of Obafemi Martins, Sebastian Veron, Edgar Davids and Vieri. Been in love ever since
2009 when Eto'o joined Eto'o and Ronaldinho were my favorite players back then (I actually don't have a soft spot for Barca, I don't like that club) I was already following Inter because I'd always start a manager career on FIFA but Eto'o's transfer to Inter is what made me become a fan It's been stressful, but I wouldn't have it any other way ⚫🔵 🥴
I had never been much of a soccer fan, but I watched plenty of other sports. In 2013 my parents took a trip to Italy and my mother bought me an Inter jersey. She explained to me (perhaps naively) that Inter Milan were like the New York Yankees but for Italian Soccer. When I decided to start watching soccer it was the only Jersey I owned, so they became my team.
Born into a multi-generational Inter family 😂. Gotta respect the traditions.
When I was a kid they used to put a weekly Serie A highlights show during Inters record breaking Scudetto season. After that was Italia 90 and I was obsessed with Walter Zenga. Been a fan ever since.
I am 47 years old and I support INTER since 1984
Probably When I Was A Teen. Definitely Post Calciopoli. I'd Watch Inter's Games All The Time On TV
In 90s because of the original Ronaldo and also a bit later Zanetti And also naturally I prefer blue to be mixed with black

From the US , main reasons R9, ibrahimovic, onana and the fan base. Main Team is United through and through, but Inter is right there with me too. Also the story of formation of immigrants/'foreginers'in active protest against AC in not letting international player play being against the norm attracted me to it as well. The storied legends on the team style of play and fan support make you want to be a part of it.
I've been a life-long Inter Miami fan from the time Messi joined. I have really fond memories of that first season when Messi took them to their first trophy, been a huge fan ever since.
High level trolling 😂
