摘要
This research delves into the intersection of sports fandom and political activism through the lens of Panathinaikos' supporters, particularly Gate 13. It investigates how the club's fan base engages in political expression, solidarity actions, and even political mobilization, against the backdrop of Greece's socio-political upheavals. The study reveals the formation of a political party, PANKI, by the fans, highlighting their proactive stance on national issues. By combining ethnographic methods and thematic analysis, it uncovers the politicization of fan identities amidst economic and political crises, showcasing the unique role sports fandom can play in broader social and political discourse.
