Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'fan' (an admirer) combined with 'base' (a foundation or core group) yields 'a core group of fans'. This noun-noun compounding is common in English and many other languages (e.g., 'base de fans'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Fan base comes from a simple picture: many fans standing around a strong base, like a home that supports an artist or team. That's why it means 'a group of enthusiastic supporters'.
