Football Travel Podcast: The History of the Ultrà Movement and Homefans.net

Genoa CFC is Italy’s oldest club

We welcome two more great guests to the show this month covering two fascinating topics:

 

The History of the Ultrà Culture: We talk to football blogger Luca Hodges-Ramon to explore how Italian ultrà culture emerged and was ultimately exported. We look at the fierce regional rivalries in Italy. Luca writes for Beyond the Field of Play, The Gentleman Ultra and others.

 

Connecting Fans with Homefans.net: We catch up with Luke Verbeek, co-founder of Homefans.net, about how the website aims to connect travelling football fans from across the world with local fans. We also get insights on how to visit The Netherlands’ Eridivisie league.
