CELTIC
Celtic have dominated Scottish football in recent years and their Green and White Army have been there every step of the way.
Celtic Park is one of world football’s loudest stadiums as the fans belt out songs in support of their team weekly.
ROMA
Serie A giants Roma have a following that can intimidate any rival team when they come to the Stadio Olimpico.
The incredible support has even kept players loyal to the club, including legend Francesco Totti, who played his entire career at Roma.
RED STAR BELGRADE
Facing Red Star Belgrade is tough enough without the added fire of their incredible supporters.
They use constant singing, fireworks and floods of flares to display their incredible support, especially in the intimidating North Stand.
LIVERPOOL
Liverpool fans live and breathe their club. Their Anfield home is defined by the sound of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ roaring from the Kop.
When they play in Europe the passion of the home crowds and the travelling support is the stuff of legend.
GALATASARAY
Turkey is known for its incredibly passionate people but none more so that the supporters of Galatasaray.
The loyal fans go to extreme lengths to support their team, as seen by their ‘Welcome to Hell’ for European teams arriving in Istanbul.
RIVER PLATE
Argentine football’s intense rivalries have created a fanbase like no other.
River Plate’s home, El Monumental, is the largest stadium in Argentina and often had giant crowds of more than 100,000 before capacity restrictions.
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN
Paris Saint-Germain have shown that football fans don’t have to be local to be passionate.
The French champions have a huge global fanbase, demonstrated when their collaboration with Nike Jordan was snapped up by supporters worldwide.

There are not many stadiums in the world that can produce the sight and sound the Borussia Dortmund fans do with their flags and displays.

The Stadio San Paolo has a capacity of 60,000 and even when they dropped to Serie C1 in the mid-2000s it regularly filled almost to capacity.
