Stephen OBrien
Ireland
Stephen O'Brien is the founder of the UK and Irish Packers Fan Club, established in 2013 to bring together Green Bay Packers supporters across Ireland and the United Kingdom. What began as a small gathering of passionate fans has grown into the largest Packers fan club outside the United States, creating a vibrant community that connects thousands of supporters through events, travel, media, and shared devotion to the green and gold.
Stephen is also the driving force behind one of Europe's most popular Packers podcasts, giving fans a dedicated voice and platform to discuss the team from an international perspective. Through his leadership, the fan club has become a hub for year-round engagement, hosting packed watch parties and social events that reflect the Packers' unique spirit of community ownership.
Every year, Stephen organizes a fully escorted supporters tour to Lambeau Field, helping fans experience the magic of Green Bay firsthand. In addition, the fan club crowd-funds an all-expenses-paid trip to Lambeau annually, ensuring that one devoted fan gets the opportunity of a lifetime regardless of financial circumstances.
His commitment to growing the game internationally and strengthening the bond between the Packers and their overseas family was recognized in 2025 when Stephen was named NFL International Fan of the Year for the Green Bay Packers. Through tireless volunteer work and an unwavering belief that distance should never limit fandom, he has helped prove that Titletown truly has no borders.
