N1 - 73 N2 - Football fandom seems to be redefining the relationship to territory: fans of football clubs can belong to social networks disconnected from the geographical and cultural affiliations of the majority of members. '˜'˜Remote supporting' reveals the complexification of sports identification processes and their gradual disconnection from experiences of conflict and emotion, felt in a local or national context.
