The club’s Ultras have been touted to be the most intimidating ones in the Italian football by Paulo Di Canio, a man who is himself remembered for his fascist celebrations. Formed in 1900’s the club is believed to have military connections with dictator Benito Mussolini being one of its infamous supporters.

The club’s fans, who have been embroiled in numerous physical battles with fans of the visiting clubs, are unafraid to display their Neo-Nazi affiliation, especially across their famous terrace Curva Nord to this date. With their crosstown rivals AS Roma sharing the notoriety for being violent, the Rome Derby has often drawn more attention for the action off the pitch rather than on it.

The fans have even been linked with terror activities against anti-nazi supporters and were involved in ambushing a set of Tottenham fans in 2012 when they carried out a well-planned attack against them in a bar which resulted in a bloodbath and at least a couple of Tottenham fans being hospitalised.

In recent years, the Ultras have been involved in racial abuse of visiting players and fans. Even some of their own players have not been spared from abuse, making the club one of the most hated ones in not Italy, but across the globe.
