Abstract

Football is the most important sport in the world, which would not make sense without supporters. The role of the supporters is very important for the success of football, although essential for the existence of football seem at first sight the sponsors. The development of football is impressive, worldwide. There are national, continental or world events at club or national teams level. There are several types of supporters, which can be recognized in any country of the world; Passionate fans are just a type of supporter. The behavior of football supporters is influenced by a variety of factors, including: family, friends, economic issues, time available, costs. Certainly, football fans are influenced by television and the Internet. The loyalty of football fans is a proverbial one, compared to many other areas. There are many reasons to be a football supporter; to have fun, to identify with the winners and other reasons. Many aspects mentioned below are valid for club teams. At national team matches, there are some special details. There are some relatively recent changes in the behavior of football fans, including the emergence of "supporters without frontiers", who travel to other countries to watch their favorite teams. Another trend is the increase in the proportion of female supporters. Some interesting aspects also appear regarding the Romanian supporters.Among them: the most popular team in Romania is not a Romanian one! I tried to draw at least a few valid conclusions for all supporters, regardless of the country.
