Over the last 50 years, the ultras have become the most widespread,
outspoken and spectacular form of football fandom across the globe.
Whilst the ultras phenomenon began in Italy, then spread across
Southern Europe into Northern Europe, it is now the dominant style
of fandom in North Africa, South East Asia and East Asia and is
spreading into North America and Australia. This spectacular style
of fandom has been spread through global media, social media and
increased travel, where fans can view, engage and interact with a
range of fans from across the globe and bring various local
dimensions to their fandom. This volume brings together a range of
articles about the ultras' style of football fandom. It is designed
to be an introduction: a first account of ultras for the
uninitiated. What follows are analyses and accounts of ultras in
Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Turkey, Israel, North America,
Australia, Indonesia and Croatia. Not only does this volume
demonstrate the prevalence of the ultras' style of fandom across
the globe, it shows how football becomes an important cultural
arena to see the intersections of globalization and localism. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Sport in
Society.
