You're probably looking at the US section and a lot of it doesn't translate I know. In Europe and somewhat in Latin America groups often have political tendencies.

Thanks.
Yeah, I decided to include all different types of groups. I'm trying to get links, basic info and a small logo for as many as possible.
Glad to see all the feedback has been positive. :D

So there is the communist party soccer team?
What is the reason. So people of the same political background can root from a team together?

Basically, yeah. Some are more active and go to demonstrations or unfurl political banners at games.
A lot of ultras groups were formed in the 60's and 70's so if you have a large group of youth hanging out on the terraces from the same city there probably will be people with similiar political beliefs and it's an easy way to organize.
You have groups that are apolitical, far left, far right and everything in between.

Pretty cool site, that's a lot of good info, just one suggestion, you might want to make sure some of the groups are still active. For example, I know that some of the Chicago Fire Ultra's groups that are listed are not active. The group members still attend games, but the groups aren't active anymore.

I wasn't sure about the "Arsonists" but someone gave me their info and their logo is on the Section 8 website. I think the other one you mean is Fire Ultras '98. I think their numbers have decreased but they may come back.
You or any other Chicago fan can correct me if you want something changed...
I still haven't gotten to a few MLS teams.
