#7 Metalist Kharkiv
Though the Ukranian club has ceased to operate, there is no denying the fact that it boasted of one of the most passionate fans in the world of football. However, with passion often getting confused with violence, it comes as no surprise that the club had its share of troubles due to the existence of an Ultras group.
The Ultras were involved in numerous battles with their arch-rivals Dynamo Kyiv, whom they were touted to replace as one of the top teams in Ukraine, until they were disbanded and fights breaking out over the stadium was not a sight one would be surprised when the two sides met.
However, the fans of the two clubs came together in support of Kharkiv during their last meeting in the Ukranian league, with 20 minutes of a vocal and visual exhibition of their frustration with the club’s management to hold on to their status as a football club. While the club might no longer exist, two separate Kharkiv clubs have now been registered in the country and we believe it is not long before the notoriety of their supporters begins to resurface.
