Global Ultras

Book cover

Award-winning author and journalist James Montague joins FSF on Thursday, October 15, at 2pm US Eastern Time (2000 Central European Time) to discuss his new book, 1312: Among the Ultras, A journey with the world’s most extreme fans.

1312 investigates the international phenomenon of the ultras from South America to Europe, Southeast Asia, and the USA. Using his signature globetrotting style, Montague charts the evolution of these radical supporters into political organizations (mostly aligned with the far right, at present) and as spaces of resistance against state authorities and the corporate takeover of football.
