“Chapters”, officially started as part of the 49er Empire movement from a small tailgate at Candlestick. As the movement grew, countless groups emerged as chapters over the years. Both within our official network and beyond. The enthusiasm of this movement inspired the San Francisco 49ers front office to recognize their booster clubs as “Fan Chapters”.
That’s the power of our fanbase—Niner Faithful, you made this happen!
Today, as we continue our traditions established at the roots of our Niner Empire movement…
You’ll notice the San Francisco 49ers’ official website states,
“Each chapter operates independently from the team
and has no official affiliation with the San Francisco 49ers organization.”
Just as it was when we were known as booster clubs.
The “49er Empire” aka “The Niner Empire” is a fan movement
supporting the greatest football franchise in history,
our San Francisco 49ers,
and we exist to enhance fellow fan experiences.
Nothing comes between us and our 49ers.
We uphold a higher standard through our officially chartered chapters.
Chapters stand stronger than ever, united by a clear vision and mission to serve fellow San Francisco 49ers fans. Together, they foster vibrant communities that embody pride, unity, and dedication, representing the Niner Empire with class and commitment worldwide.
By becoming an official chapter, you join a passionate community committed to representing the 49ers with class and supporting our team with unmatched enthusiasm. Ready to take your fandom to the next level? Let’s make it official!
GO NINERS!!!

The Niner Empire Organization Chapters’ are dedicated to uniting passionate San Francisco 49ers fans into elite, official chapters worldwide.

Being part of a Niner Empire chapter is more than fandom
