Hooliganism
Hooliganism refers to disruptive and violent behavior, often associated with sports fans, particularly in the context of football (soccer). It typically involves aggressive actions, such as fighting, vandalism, and public disorder, usually during or after sporting events. Hooligans may identify with specific teams and express their loyalty through these acts, which can lead to serious consequences for both individuals and communities.
The phenomenon of hooliganism has been observed in various countries and has prompted authorities to implement measures to prevent violence at sporting events. This includes increased security, banning orders for known offenders, and public awareness campaigns aimed at promoting positive fan behavior.
