Kop
Kop is a term often used to refer to a specific type of hill or mound, particularly in the context of sports. It is most famously associated with Anfield, the home stadium of Liverpool F.C., where the "Kop" is a large stand filled with passionate supporters. This area is known for its vibrant atmosphere during matches, as fans sing and chant to encourage their team.
The term "Kop" originated from the Battle of Spion Kop during the Second Boer War, where British soldiers fought on a hill called Spion Kop. The name was later adopted by football fans to describe the steep, terraced stands that resemble a hill, creating an intense environment for spectators.
