Football is undoubtedly the sport with the largest following in the
world, attracting billions of fans across the globe. These fans
play an integral part in determining the identity of the football
club they support. Many studies have focused on the intense rivalry
between clubs, their fans and the opposing identities they
represent. However, little attention has been paid to examples of
cooperation between rival fans. This book is the first to explore
antagonistic cooperation in football; the idea that rival fans can
work together despite their animosity. With examples from
Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Croatia, Poland, Turkey,
Ukraine, the UK, the US and Zimbabwe, this book brings together
case studies on rival fans working together and explores how and
why such cooperation takes place. Showcasing original research from
a team of international football scholars, it sheds new light on
the social and political complexities of contemporary football fan
culture. Football Fans, Rivalry and Cooperation is fascinating
reading for anybody with an interest in football studies, the
sociology of sport, sport and politics, or sport and social theory.
