One of Catalonia‘s lesser known clubs, but the leftist “Desperdicis” of UE Sant Andreu make for a colourful bunch.

Ultras Aufkleber of the Week – Cádiz CF
El Kolectivo Sur – Interview
El Kolectivo Sur is the ultra group of Xerez Deportivo CF, a young Football club from the Spanish city of Jerez de la Frontera founded by fans as financial wobbles hit Xerex CD, the stalwart La Segunda outfit for long periods of time.

Ultras Aufkleber of the Week – York City

In the face of the Football club that Continue reading

Kuala Lumpur, being a relatively young city, is viewed as a place lacking in culture inhabited by economic migrants with little history by the rowdy fans of Selangor next door. Thanks to KLFA’s recent promotion to the MSL, old scores are being settled in the Klang Valley Derby this season.
Not the most inspirational of designs, but a curious club nonetheless.
