Panathinaikos - GATE13
Home sector: The primary home ground for Gate 13 is the historic Leoforos Alexandras Stadium, where the Ultras section is always full, regardless of the opponent. Gate 13 also has a designated section in the Olympic Stadium (OAKA), specifically Sector 31-1, with attendance typically ranging from 4,000 to 6,000, depending on the game. Matches against rivals such as Olympiacos, AEK, PAOK, and Aris draw full-capacity crowds. However, at the Leoforos Alexandras Stadium, the Ultras section is consistently packed, no matter the opponent. Over the years, no single subgroup has been the most active—Gate 13 operates as a united collective of dedicated fans.
Away match: Away games in Greece are usually prohibited due to the inability of the Greek state to manage safety and responsibility effectively. As a result, Gate 13 members typically only travel to matches against smaller teams without active Ultras groups, which are generally less engaging.
Friendships: Ultras/Hooligans friendships: Gate 13 has longstanding and significant friendships with several Ultras groups. Their oldest brotherhood is with Rapid Wien Ultras in Austria, a bond that dates back to 2001. Additionally, Gate 13 has a strong friendship with Ultras Roma, established in 2006, and maintains close ties with the Bad Blue Boys of Dinamo Zagreb.
Enemies: The primary enemies of Gate 13 are: Gate 7 (Olympiacos), Delije (Red Star Belgrade), Original 21 (AEK), Gate 4 (PAOK), Snakes 4 (OFI). Beyond these main rivals, Gate 13 has numerous other adversaries across Greece and Europe.
Groups: Gate 13 comprises several active subgroups, each contributing to the collective strength and spirit of the fanbase. Some of the most active groups include: West Block, Kamatero, Vyronas, Underground Petralona, Notia, Patissia, Chania, Ioannina, Kalamata, Cyprus, UK
These groups, along with others, ensure the Gate 13 spirit thrives across Greece and internationally.

FC Vardar Skopje, since 1947
Home sector: Our home sector is located in lower point of the West Stand of the Skopje City Stadium. As is typical in the Balkans, the most eagerly anticipated matches are the derby games, which draw big crowds of Vardar fans, supporters, and ultras. However, it's important to note that football in Macedonia is currently at one of the lowest levels in Europe. Many of our historic football clubs, with their rich traditions, now play in the lower leagues, overshadowed by newly established clubs that are often linked to money laundering. The lack of proper stadiums, matches scheduled during inconvenient times (like 1 pm on weekdays), and unjustified away bans further contribute to the decline of the sport here. These factors have resulted in a low number of fans attending games. Despite these challenges, there are still dedicated fanatics who remain unaffected by these conditions. They travel everywhere to support the club, and keeping the ultra’ movement alive since 1987, when Komiti Zapad group was founded.
Away match: As mentioned earlier, the most highly anticipated away games are the derbies against Pelister Bitola. In fact, the last away derby match we attended had over 600 fans supporting the team. When there are no away bans in place, and usually there are, the number of group members traveling can range from 100 to 400, depending on the significance of the match and where the game is played. In general, away games are particularly attractive not just for the competitive football, but for the opportunity to enjoy time with friends and escape personal and everyday problems. In a region where many football clubs lack dedicated support groups, derby games naturally draw larger crowds. Therefore, every away game is a unique experience and story of its own.
Friendships: Komiti have only two official friendships: Ultras Gelsenkirchen (FC Schalke 04) and Vojvodi Tetovo (FC Teteks Tetovo). However, beyond these formal alliances, there are personal connections between certain group members and subgroups with other ultra/fan groups, both domestic and international.
Enemies: The situation in Macedonia is indeed complex, especially when it comes to ethnic tensions and related issues. In this context, it's important to distinguish between rivals and enemies. While rivals are teams with whom we may engage in limited cooperation—such as offering mutual support in matters like opposing the federation rules, police restrictions/brutality, or dealing with away game bans, while our relationship with enemies is entirely different. With enemies, there is no room for fair play or any form of interaction whatsoever. Our primary rivals are Pelister Bitola, but when it comes to enemies, this includes any ethnic-Albanian club that has any kind of “supporting group”.
Groups: The West Stand is home to a single main group: Komiti Zapad. Unlike other fan movements where multiple groups collaborate within the Curva/Stand, here it's unified under one main banner. However, within Komiti, there are several active subgroups and crews. These subgroups are typically organized based on neighborhood ties, but some also come together around shared interests beyond just supporting FC Vardar—such as lifestyle, music, "sport," and other cultural or social connections. This structure allows for a diverse yet cohesive community in our West stand, united by a deep passion for the club and the values of the ultra’ movement.

Levski Sofia
Home sector: Our home sector is called Sector B. On average, we have around 8,500–10,500 fans at our home games. The biggest crowds gather for matches against CSKA-Sofia, where we fill both sides of the stands and always outnumber them. The average attendance for these games is about 32,000. For matches against Ludogorets, we’re around 16,000–17,000, and for games like those with Botev Plovdiv or Cherno More, we usually get 10,000–11,000. We are the club with the highest annual attendance in Bulgaria. During European matches, we fill every stadium we play in. Most recently, we hosted Eintracht Frankfurt with 40,000 fans at the national stadium. There was a 2,000-seat buffer zone, but otherwise, the stadium would have been completely full.
Away match: This is what we’re most famous for—wherever we go, we’re the home side. We pack every away sector to the limit. Bulgarian stadiums are small, but whenever there’s space, we show up in big numbers. In Veliko Tarnovo, we’ve had 10,000 fans for away games, and for a cup final against Cherno More in Burgas (400 km from Sofia), we had 15,000 fans. Our travels have often involved clashes, mainly with the police but also with rival groups. Notable incidents include the away trips to Artmedia Bratislava, Skopje, Zagreb, Nikšić, Verona, Bremen, and others. One memorable moment was before our match against Ruzomberok when we were attacked by a mixed group of Ajax and Cracovia Krakow fans. Their attack backfired as we sent them running, resulting in arrests on both sides. Regular clashes with police also happen during Balkan matches in European tournaments. Our numbers on European trips are impressive—few clubs manage attendance like ours. Whatever tickets are available, we sell them out within minutes.
Friendships: Our political orientation is right-wing. We are friends only with Lazio’s Curva Nord 12. We also have personal contacts and good relations with the fans of Lokomotiv Plovdiv, specifically Lauta Army.
Enemies: Oh, there are plenty! As the strongest fanbase in Bulgaria, nobody likes us on the local scene, but we don’t care. Our biggest rivalry is with CSKA fans. Even though their original club was dissolved and many of their older hooligans stopped attending matches, our past is full of incidents, and many red flags have hung on our fences. Second place goes to Botev Plovdiv fans, with whom we share one of the oldest rivalries, as their club was founded in 1912 and ours in 1914. Political and club differences have created not just a gap but an abyss between us. Minyor Pernik is another interesting rivalry. Although their numbers are small, their hatred for us has led to confrontations, which haven’t ended well for them. Cherno More, Beroe, Spartak Varna, and Neftochimic also make this list. Outside Bulgaria, we have bad relations with all Balkan fanbases, unlike CSKA fans, who are friends with Steaua, Partizan, and try forming strange alliances like with PAOK through their Serbian connections.
Groups: Our main group, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, is “Sofia West”. It’s arguably the strongest group in Bulgaria, respected by everyone. We have several ultras groups from Sofia, the most numerous and active being QDVP, along with smaller groups like HD Boys, Zona B18, Reduta, and others. Our structure outside Sofia is also strong and constantly growing, with significant groups in Blagoevgrad, Kyustendil, Samokov, Petrich, Pleven, Tarnovo, Varna, Burgas, Stara Zagora, Asenovgrad, Dobrich, and other cities.

APOEL FC
Home sector: The home ground for APOEL is the GSP Stadium in Nicosia, which has a capacity of 22,000. The Ultras sector is the South Stand, which holds 4,500 fans and is nearly full for almost every game. The most prestigious matches for the group are the European games, as the team has achieved great success in Europe. The derbies against local rivals are the most intense, with the games against same-city rivals being highly anticipated—even though these rivals lack significant Ultras groups. The only other active groups in Cyprus are those of the two Limassol teams (AEL, Apollon) and Anorthosis. Matches against these teams generate the best atmospheres, though they fall far behind APOEL in terms of presence and support.
Away match: When it comes to away games, every stadium APOEL fans visit feels like home. The group consistently sells out its away game allocation, even when restrictions limit attendance to around 1,000 fans. APOEL also has a massive international following, with away matches abroad sometimes drawing over 5,000 supporters. The most significant away games are in Limassol—a city hated as passionately as the teams based there. APOEL Ultras often dominate the city during these matches, walking the streets as if they own them. These games frequently lead to clashes inside and outside the stadium.
Friendships: APOEL Ultras have no official friendships with other Ultras groups but maintain good relations in some cases, particularly with Orthodox "brother" groups like some Serbian Ultras. Shared ideologies often strengthen these ties, as reflected in chants and banners during European games (e.g., chants with Serbians about Kosovo or banners supporting Armenians regarding the Armenian Genocide).
Enemies: The biggest rivals are Omonia, another Nicosia-based team. Omonia represents the ideological opposite of APOEL, and the hatred between the groups runs far deeper than football. APOEL has always fought for unification with Greece, while Omonia fans are seen as traitors who have historically sided with the enemy. This animosity is ingrained in every APOEL fan. Notably, Omonia's only significant Ultras group disbanded in 2018.
Groups: The sole recognized group is APOEL Ultras, officially known as Pan.Sy.Fi APOEL. The main fan club is based in Nicosia, with additional fan clubs spread across other cities and abroad.

Lokomotiv Plovdiv
Home sector: Bessica The sector holds around 4000 people. There are 4 ultra/hooligan groups under the name of Lauta Army. There are more groups in the sector but they are not part of Lauta Army.
The two biggest matches at home are the city derby against Botev and the matches against Cska-Sofia. These two matches attract all groups in full force as it’s big rivalry.
Away match: Our biggest away matches are obviously the derby and Cska-Sofia. For these matches Lauta Army normally get a hooligan group of around 120-150 people from all 4 groups. Then there are of course other groups but not so active on the hooligan scene. For away matches depending on the rival, match day and time we can have from 2000 to 50/100 supporters. Back in the years we used to go by trains but now we use cars or vans.
Friendships: We have nearly 20 years of strong friendship with Curva A Napoli. The friendship started with Mastiffs and now is with all groups in Curva A. They come to our matches and we go there at least few times a year. For the last derby last month Napoli came with 40 people from all groups of Curva A. It’s a very strong relationship. Also we have a friendship with Banda Tuki from Spartak Moscow. We have mutual respect with Levski Sofia but it’s not an official friendship.
Enemies: Biggest enemies in Bulgaria are Botev Plovdiv and Cska-Sofia. We also have rivalry with Spartak Varna as they are friends with Botev. We play very seldom in Europe but we always bring a good group to our away matches. We would like to fight Aris, PSV or Inter if they ever come to Plovdiv as they are friends with Botev. We asked PSV for a forest fight but they refused.
Groups: Lauta Army include 4 hooligan groups: Lauta Hools also known as The Usual Suspects which is the oldest organized group in Bulgaria since 1992, Napoletani Ultras Plovdiv, Gott mit Uns and Lauta Frontline with total of around 150 hooligans.
