FEMALE FANS WITHIN THE ULTRAS SUBCULTURE

In modern society, football draws broad public attention, both from consumers and supporters who attend football matches and those who follow it through the mass media. Modern football has become commodified throughout the past thirty years ; some authors also claim it has become feminized. This analysis will focus on “traditional hot supporters”— women as members of the ultras subculture on the Croatian supporter scene. Although they are becoming more and more numerous, female supporters must accept the “male rules of the game” to be accepted in the group. This research will focus on the status of women in the ultras subculture and the ways in which they accept masculinist patterns of behaviour typical of the football supporter scene.
