It is their unwavering fandom cultivated over decades that has made the club famous around the world. Proudly anti-establishment, St Pauli supporters are united in empathy, representing the poor and downtrodden – a far cry from violent hooliganism common amongst football “ultras” in other parts of Europe.Beyond the usual football chants and rock music, we follow the “ultras” of FC St Pauli, a beacon of hope in the midst of Europe’s rising far-right movements.
