First Person Ultra: Ultras Ahlawy, Egypt

By Tom Dunmore • Nov 27th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

In the second of our series on ultras in unusual places (see the first on a group of English ultras here), we look at the first ultras group in Egypt, founded just this year but already responsible for a series of remarkable choreographed displays. They support Al-Ahly, the side from Cairo, Egypt who are perhaps […]



Ultras in Britain, Aldershot Town FC’s Red Blue Army

By Tom Dunmore • Nov 15th, 2007 • Category: World Football Culture

Despite being the birthplace of organised football, ultras culture, so popular elsewhere at various times, has barely registered as a style of support at British clubs.
But some are trying to grow the culture in Britain, such as Aldershot Town’s Red Blue Army. Aldershot Town F.C. were formed in 1992 after the collapse of Aldershot F.C. […]

I would not like to take a penalty in front of Urawa Reds’ supporters at their Saitama stadium, myself. Watch this shootout from an Asian Champions League semi-final against South Korea’s Seongnam Ilhwa last week, and marvel at the spectacle of the giant flags. It’s really no surprise they won, is it?

Yesterday, we took a look at Vojvodina Vozdovac fans in the Serbian Cup Final against the more well known Red Star. Today we take a peek at who they were up against — some of the most intense fans in Europe, as this greatest hits video shows. Please, for your own aural health, mute the […]

You might well never have heard of Serbia’s Vojvodina Vozdovac, who surprisingly appeared in the first ever Serbian Cup final against Red Star this year. And they lost 2-0 to the much better known team.
