'''Ultras''' are a type of [[Association football culture|association football fan]]s who are known for their [[fandom|fanatical support]]. The term originated in Italy, but is used worldwide to describe predominantly organised fans of association football teams. The behavioural tendency of ultras groups includes singing [[football chant]]s, playing musical instruments such as [[drums]], their use of [[flares]] and [[smoke bombs]] (primarily in ''[[tifo]]'' choreography), frequent use of elaborate displays, vocal support in large groups and the displaying of flags and banners at football stadiums, all of which are designed to create an atmosphere which encourages their own team and intimidates the opposing players and their supporters. These groups also commonly organise trips to attend [[away game]]s.

Ultras groups have been responsible for many cases of [[football hooliganism]] and violence,<ref name="Spiked" /> although differently from [[List of hooligan firms|hooligan firms]], ultras do not have the explicit objective of fighting other fans.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is a football ultra?

==History==
The origin of the ultras movement is disputed,<ref name="In Bed With Maradona"/> with many supporters groups from various countries making claims solely on the basis of their dates of foundation. The level of dispute and confusion is aided by a contemporary tendency (mainly in Europe) to categorise all groups of overtly fanatical supporters as ultras. The first group of fans was found in Salerno, Italy in 1921 with the name "circolo salernitani fieri",<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.agi.it/sport/news/2024-12-20/calcio-volantino-collezionista-racconta-primo-club-tifosi-29250771/#:~:text=AGI%20%2D%20%C3%88%20nato%20a%20Salerno,da%20un%20collezionista%20di%20Viterbo | title=Un volantino di cento anni fa svela quando e dove è nato il primo club di tifosi | date=20 December 2024 }}</ref> later in Florence in 1931 when some Fiorentina fans created the group called "ordine del marzocco",<ref>{{cite web | url=https://alefiorentina.it/la-nascita-del-tifo-organizzato/ | title=La nascita del tifo organizzato - Alé Fiorentina | date=October 2024 }}</ref> which with a large following, composed hymns, distributed flags and stage material and set up special trains to follow the team. Supporters groups of a nature comparable to the ultras have been present in Brazil since 1939, when the first ''[[torcida organizada]]'' was formed (although these groups began to focus on violence in the 1970s). Inspired by the torcidas and the colourful scenes of the [[1950 FIFA World Cup|1950 World Cup]], supporters of [[HNK Hajduk Split|Hajduk Split]] formed [[Torcida Split]] on 28 October 1950.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.torcida.hr/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=47&Itemid=98|title=Povijest|website=Torcida.hr|access-date=5 February 2011|language=hr|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110217032145/http://www.torcida.hr/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=47&Itemid=98|archive-date=17 February 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>  But the first supporters' groups in the world formed to produce violence were [[barra brava|''barras bravas'']], originated in [[Argentina]] in the 1950s.

The 1960s saw the continuing spread and development of the culture with the formation of the [[Fossa dei Leoni]] and [[F.C. Internazionale Milano#Supporters and rivalries|Boys San]] groups, the former often regarded in Italy as the first full-fledged ultras group (associated with violence). The term "ultras" was used as a name for the first time in 1969, when supporters of [[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]] formed the [[U.C. Sampdoria#Supporters and rivalries|Ultras Tito Cucchiaroni]] and fans of Torino formed the Ultras Granata. The style of support that would become synonymous with Italian football developed most during the 1970s, as more groups formed, including the radical [[S.S. Lazio]] Ultras in 1974, with a strong predominance of fascist slogans and chants amongst other groups such as Hellas Verona supporters. The active support of the ultras became more apparent, in contrast with the "traditional" culture, choreographic displays, signature banners and symbols, giant flags, drums and fireworks became the norm as groups aimed to take their support to higher levels.<ref name="Football Italia">{{cite web|url=http://www.football-italia.net/blogs/si60.html|title=Ultras rule?|publisher=Football Italia|date=28 October 2009|access-date=18 January 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101123085614/http://football-italia.net/blogs/si60.html|archive-date=23 November 2010|url-status=live}}</ref> The decade also saw the [[Years of lead (Italy)|violence and unrest of Italian society at the time]] overlap with the ultras movement, adding a dimension that has plagued it ever since.<ref>{{cite book|last=Alberto Testa|first=Gary Armstrong|title=Football, Fascism and Fandom|publisher=A&C Black|year=2010|isbn=978-1-4081-2371-3}}</ref> The ultras movement spread across Europe, Australia, Asia and North Africa during the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, starting with the countries geographically closest to Italy.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Spaaij |first1=Ramón |last2=Viñas |first2=Carles |title=Passion, politics and violence: A socio-historical analysis of Spanish ultras |journal=Soccer & Society |date=March 2005 |volume=6 |issue=1 |pages=79–96 |doi=10.1080/1466097052000337034}}</ref>

==Characteristics==
Ultras groups are usually centred on a core group of founders or leaders (who tend to hold executive control),<ref name="Ultras pull the strings"/> with smaller subgroups organised by location, friendship or political stance. Ultras tend to use various styles and sizes of banners and flags bearing the name and symbols of their group.<ref name="Ultras pull the strings">{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2007/feb/04/newsstory.sport1|title=Ultras pull the strings as Italy descends into chaos|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=4 February 2007|access-date=5 February 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141002185527/http://www.theguardian.com/football/2007/feb/04/newsstory.sport1|archive-date=2 October 2014|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.asromaultras.org/gruppi.html|title=Gruppi|website=asromaultras.org|access-date=5 February 2011|language=it|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110212220520/http://www.asromaultras.org/gruppi.html|archive-date=12 February 2011|url-status=live}}</ref> Some ultras groups sell their own merchandise to raise funds for performing displays.<ref name="Ultras pull the strings"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.asromaultras.org/as_roma_ultras.html|title=AS Roma Ultras|website=asromaultras.org|access-date=18 January 2011|language=it|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110213065648/http://www.asromaultras.org/as_roma_ultras.html|archive-date=13 February 2011|url-status=live}}</ref> An ultras group can number from a handful of fans to hundreds or thousands, with larger groups often claiming entire sections of a stadium for themselves. Ultras groups often have a [[Representation (politics)|representative]] who liaises with the club owners on a regular basis, mostly regarding tickets, seat allocations and storage facilities.<ref name="Ultras pull the strings"/> Some clubs provide groups with cheaper tickets, storage rooms for flags and banners and early access to the stadium before matches to prepare displays. These types of favoured relationships are often criticised when ultras groups abuse their power.<ref name="CBC Sports"/>

===Hooliganism===
[[File:Zabrze-Chorzów fight.jpg|thumb|[[Football hooliganism in Poland|Polish football hooligans]] in violent clash]]
While ultras groups can become violent, the majority of matches attended by ultras conclude with no violent incidents. Unlike [[List of hooligan firms|hooligan firms]], whose main aim is to fight [[football hooligan|hooligans]] of other clubs, the main focus of ultras is generally to support their own team<ref name="Spiked">{{cite web|url=http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php/site/article/2836/|title=Ultra vires|publisher=Spiked|date=9 February 2007|access-date=18 January 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110224042909/http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php/site/article/2836|archive-date=24 February 2011}}</ref> Some hooligans try to be inconspicuous when they travel; usually not wearing team colours, to avoid detection by the police. Within the ultra or hooligan culture however, those dressing to "blend in" would be referred to as [[Casual (subculture)|casuals]], which is viewed by some as a branch of hooliganism, yet still maintaining its own independence and culture. Ultras tend to be more conspicuous when they travel, proudly displaying their scarves and club colours while arriving ''en masse'', which allows the police to keep a close eye on their movements.

=== Italy ===
[[File:ACMilanultras2006curvasud.jpg|alt=ACMilanultras2006curvasud|thumb|[[A.C. Milan|AC Milan]] ultras in 2006]]
In Italy, most professional football clubs have an ultras group which attends every match and has dedicated seating areas in either the north or south end of the stadium behind the goals. Each ultras group will have one or more leaders who choreograph chants, and who hand out banners and flags to other people in the stand to wave throughout the match. Ultras have been credited with creating fantastic atmospheres inside the stadium; however they have also come under universal criticism because of ties to various gangs and the mafia, as well as causing violence which often takes place outside the stadium prior to a match. Over the years inappropriate chanting has resulted in the [[Italian Football Federation|FIGC]] issuing partial or full stadium bans to clubs. The ultras will choreograph a wide range of chants throughout a match, but some of the most common chants that result in a ban are anti-Southern chants towards clubs which are located in the South of Italy, most notably towards [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]], as well as racist chants towards opposition players. However, these issues only partially represent parts of the Ultras culture in Italy – Ultras in Italy are also known for fighting criminals and the Mafia, giving housing to immigrants or helping Italian citizens in need, as well as aiding with food and money during the Covid pandemic to their local hospitals.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Jones|first=Tobias|date=15 September 2019|title=At home with Italy's ultras: 'It isn't about watching football, but watching each other'|language=en-GB|work=The Guardian|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/sep/15/at-home-with-the-italian-ultras-football-fans-cosenza-tobias-jones|access-date=29 July 2020|issn=0261-3077}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Monella|first=Lillo Montalto|date=9 November 2019|title=Racism in football: Are Italy's Ultras the problem or the solution?|url=https://www.euronews.com/2019/11/09/racism-in-football-are-italy-s-ultras-the-problem-or-the-solution|access-date=29 July 2020|website=euronews|language=en}}</ref>

=== Spain ===
Spanish ultraism is generally agreed to have come from Italian and English ultraism and hooliganism at the 1982 World Cup held in Spain.

Spanish ultraism is particularly known for its dramatic and polarized distinction across two ideological cleavages: fascism and (regional) nationalism. The vast majority of ultra groups identify as either fascist or anti-fascist, and either separatist or nationalist.<ref>{{cite thesis |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316659628 |doi=10.13140/RG.2.2.28548.94088|year=2017 |last1=Westby |first1=David |title=Ultras in Spain: A Study on the Relationship Between Macro-level Cleavages and Micro-level Actors }}</ref>

The history of Moroccan ultras can be traced back to the early 2000s, with the formation of the first ultras group, Ultras Tanger, in 2003. However, the first ultras group that still exists today is [[Raja AC#Supporters|Ultras Green Boys]], which was founded in 21/06/2005 to support [[Raja Casablanca]]. That same year,  [[AS FAR#Supporters|Ultras Askary Rabat]] was founded to support [[AS FAR]] and [[Wydad AC#Supporters|Ultras Winners]] was founded to support [[Wydad Casablanca]]. The Moroccan ultras movement quickly gained momentum and popularity, with other notable groups such as [[Raja CA#Support|Ultras Eagles]] (also supporting Raja Casablanca), being formed in 2006. Moroccan ultras groups are heavily influenced by European ultras movements, and are known for their passionate and dedicated support of their favorite football clubs. They are also known for their elaborate displays of choreographed support, including banners, flags, flares, and coordinated chants. Despite facing challenges, such as financial costs and loss of members, Moroccan ultras groups remain an important part of the country's football culture, known for their intense rivalries and unwavering support of their clubs.
