Football ultras have a history of political violence

“Exactly what happened in Port Said on Wednesday night, and exactly who was to blame for the 74 deaths, remains unclear. What is certain, though, is that football “ultras” have become increasingly visible – and not just in Egypt. The ultras are, essentially, radical supporters’ groups, but to dismiss them as hooligans is overly simplistic, underplaying both their level of organisation and what makes them so attractive to disaffected male youths in particular.” Guardian – Jonathan Wilson
