COVID-19 and the mobilization of ultras: From hooligans to community heroes - and back

The first case of coronavirus infection was noted in Croatia, on 25 February 2020. At the outset, while many of their peers did not take the situation or the precautionary measures seriously, radical soccer fans (‘ultras’) mobilized forces and made themselves available to the crisis management offices. In the city of Split, and Zagreb ultras groups become a key factor in logistic help to hospitals and when the government announced a general quarantine, ultras organized by neighborhood into a network of volunteers to deliver food and medication to people in isolation.
