5 The World's Most Political Clubs

U n EFA has strict rules that prevent clubs from getting involved in political agendas. However, many different fans believe football is much more than what happens in the field.

These are the five most political clubs in the world:

5. Athletic Bilbao

Politics has been very involved in professional football in Spain. Real Madrid was connected to the regime, while Barcelona has been a constant fan club wanting independence for Catalonia. In this political environment, the most political club has been Athletic Bilbao, who has echoed the national identity of the Basks, the region in northern Spain. During the Franco regime, Bassik was banned as a language. Even the name of the club had been changed, from Athletic to Atletico. And besides, the club wasn't allowed to use even the bass flag.

The club became a strong voice for the oppressed Bask people. In 2015, during the King's Cup final, they too had his fans whistled at the Spanish national anthem right in front of the King.

Bilbao also uses a very unique definition in selecting the players who play for him. If, suppose, Mess or Ronaldo would like to play for this club, this regulation would not allow them to be the only players who can play for them, it's just the bass.

The Bask Club, it's the only one in Spain who's never made it to the Second League of Spain, while winning several champion titles and the King's Cup.

4. Celtic

Another popular policy club is the Scottish giant, Celtic Glasgow. Their fan-base is all composed of Catholics, thus being religiously opposed to their hated local rivals, belonging to Protestantism, Glasgow Rangers.

Many Celtic fans are linked to Irish republicanism, and thus want independence for Scotland despite the fans of Glasgow who want the opposite. But, a large number of fans have turned against this political stance, having anti-scientist and anti-fascist beliefs associated with leftistism. They have even spread the flags of Palestine during a game against an Israeli team. After that, the club was sentenced by the U. EFA.

3. Lazio

The club from the capital was loved by the notorious fascist dictator Benito Musolini. The latter had built the stadium in which this team still plays: Olympic Stadio. The stadium has long been among the best in Europe.

Although the club's board has consistently opposed various political demonstrations, fans have never heard of and held various fascist slogans. These ideas are popular among the new working class in the city of Rome. neo-Nazi residents have continued to wave, say every match, although the club received constant sentences.

Lazio's former football player, Paulo Di Canio, celebrated his goals before Lazio fans, fascistally. While he was laid off as a commentator, after he had shown his place of Mussolini.

Finally, Lazio's fans have done something terrible. Anne Frank, who is known for her journal as a child during World War II, and who was killed in the war they had portrayed as a fan of Rome, the most hated local rival.

2. Livorno

The club that played for a long time in Serbia A in Italy, from Toscana, has totally opposite fans of Lazio. They're left. And this has caused major clashes with right-related fans, such as Lazio and Hellas Verona. Even at Armando Picchi Stadium, different flags are constantly waved in support of communism. In that stadium, you find Che Guevara figures, Fidel Castros and Joseph Stalin while singing in Communist choirs.

The legend of this club is Cristiano Lucarelli, who in 2005 had been the best goalist in Serie A, leaving behind players like Shevchenko, Ibrahimovic, Vier, Inzaghi, etc. He had received various offers from large clubs, but had refused to stand on his heart team, after being her fan, and her political attitudes even during childhood.

1. St. Paul

St. Paul is a large German club from Hamburg to Germany. Their fan-base was created by punks and hippies of the 1980s, and the club's undergarments are very unique. This fan is also very close to politics, but being severely anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-syxist, anti-homophobia and powerfully connected to the left video Periscope broadcasts.

This has made this club known as one of the most progressive clubs in the world. Very often fans take various initiatives where they collect money for needy people. They also oppose football commercialisation that occurred in the last two decades.
