After learning about the dangers of soccer fixtures across the Balkans, this particular article piqued my interest. To bolster the fan base, the management will verbally assault the press, promoting a view of the team written about’s tough and harsh nature. Also, to promote the image, the manager will vilify opposing teams, creating an enemy mentality. As tensions rise for upcoming rival fixtures, safety concerns arise due to the intense fan base that exists across the Balkan countries for various teams.
