Abstract

Nothing can separate sports and supporters, especially in soccer, on which billions of fans worldwide invest their time, energy and money to support their teams. Driven by their emotional ties to their teams, supporters show their love through a variety of behavior, from cheering on them to engaging in acts of violence. The Oct. 1 tragedy at the end of the match between Arema FC and archrival Persebaya Surabaya at Kanjuruhan Stadium in Malang, East Java, speaks volumes of the connection between sports and supporters. According to the police, 125 people were killed in the incident, making it the second deadliest soccer match in history. Reports say the disaster started when some Arema supporters who were angry about their team’s defeat invaded the pitch, throwing objects. As more and more supporters followed suit, the police fired tear gas into the crowds, both on the pitch and in the stands. A stampede ensued as many people tried to escape the tear gas, but could not find enough exits.
