Nico Tobon, a devoted NYCFC fan, became a prominent voice in the club's supporters' community after attending his first match in 2015. Inspired by the team's inaugural season, he began creating content to highlight the fan culture surrounding NYCFC, which he felt was underrepresented. Operating under the moniker Chop Cheese FC, he blends humor and local culture, leveraging the popularity of the chopped cheese sandwich. His engaging videos, which resonate with the club's supporters, have garnered him a significant online following and have positioned him as an essential part of the NYCFC narrative.
I felt like the coverage was lacking, and I was like, Well, there's no better person than me to show it.'
There was nothing more New York City than a chopped cheese, he said.
Tobon was hooked. There was no doubt, said Tobon. That [was] something I wanted to be a part of.
At each NYCFC home match, you'll find him in the supporters' section interviewing others.
