 WHAT IS SPORTS
FANDOM
Sport is built on the pillar of fandom, with a global network of passionate fan-
bases who are driven by different sporting cultures across the world. Football is a
prime global example of this, with multiple popular leagues and tournaments that
are organized right through the year to accommodate football fans or viewers all
year around.
 BENEFITS OF BEING A
SPORTS FAN
The deeper your fandom and love for your team, the more invested you’re going to
be emotionally and physically. Plus, being a dedicated sports fan actually has
some positive benefits for your health.

# It builds camaraderie with friends when you cheer for the same team or
play on a team together.

# It can inspire athleticism by inspiring you to exercise or work out to be like

your favorite player.

# It provides entertainment and stress relief through cheering and socializing.

# It builds traditions and connections through your hometown, state, school

or alma mater.

Watching sports reduces depression among people who are interested in sports,

whether their team is winning or not. Being a super-fan not only helps with
relieving stress and depression, it also acts as a self-esteem booster. This feeling is
called reflected glory and it’s the positive effect you feel from your team winning.
It allows you to experience success which you wouldn’t have had if you were not a
fan.
 WAYS IN WHICH SPORTS
FANS SHOW THEIR
SUPPORT
At the end of the day, the biggest way sport fans express love and support to their
teams is by showing up to the events or matches, even when their teams are
poor. ... It doesn't matter if your team is winning or losing; you support them all the
way to the end.

These are 5 ways in which sport fans show support to their teams.

# Travelling To Away Matches

This is perhaps the away, you’ll find legions of supporters in the stadium behind their teams.
You will naturally need to know where those matches are being played, and that is why this
guide is quite an important resource. It will give you access to all the match times of your
favorite teams and then some, so you could keep up and follow them to the end of the world.
Some people don’t even have much greatest manifestation of how football fans support their
teams. Wherever they might be playing, whether it’s in a different part of the country or even
another one far y, but they still go to the matches to cheer and push their favorite teams forward. 

# Changing Their Physical Appearance

People idolize their super-stars and in some-cases will try to imitate them in whatever way
possible. If they see their favorite player on the pitch with a new hair cut they too will be inspired
to wear the hair style. People also show their support for their favorite team by getting their
bodies painted with the designs and colors of the team in which they support. Some fans may
even go as far as to get a tattoo of their favorite team or player tatted onto their bodies.
