Top eight most-feared international fans ranked including ultras group that terrified England supporters

The top eight most-feared international supporters have been named and ranked, with plenty of terrifying fanbases featuring.

Football fans are among the most passionate people in the world but there are varying levels of support across the world, with some countries known for their fandom turning into aggressive or violent behavior.

Bleacher Report named the 10 most dangerous fanbases in world football and included one English club in a list which was dominated by ultras.

SPORTbible decided to look at international football teams who have the most feared fans and enlisted the help of ChatGPT, who made a list of those renowned for creating an "intimidating atmosphere" and with a reputation of causing trouble.

Notable mentions who just missed out include Germany, France, Morocco, Egypt, Iran and Greece.

8.Brazil

A nation obsessed with football, Brazil's "unrelenting support" was acknowledged by ChatGPT, and they are noted as being considerably less violent - hence being at the bottom of the list.

7.England

England supporters follow the team all over the globe and are always loud and proud. While the hooliganism of the 1970's and 1980's in English football has largely been eliminated, there is still the feeling that England fans can be "confrontational" and "sometimes aggressive".

6.Poland

Poland's inclusion comes after some of their games involved fan violence and riots - with Legia Warsaw and Lech Poznan ultras typically at the centre of it.

5.Argentina

The three-time World Cup winners live and breathe football and bring an intensity that is almost unmatched. Chants, drums, flags, flares and the presence of organised ultra groups like 'La Doce' of Boca Juniors' all contribute towards the electricity.

4.Italy

In Italy, ultras are the heartbeat of many clubs and players have had to apologise to them after defeats. The situation with the national team is deemed to be more controlled but there are still groups who have contributed to chaos while following the Azzurri.

3.Turkey

Home to some of the most passionate clubs around, particularly in Istanbul, Turkey takes third place because of its "volatile fan culture" and "choreographed intimidation".

2.Serbia

For similar reasons, Serbia is viewed as a feared footballing nation, with games involving the Balkan outfit "hostile and chaotic" on occasion and bringing its fair share of security risks.

1.Russia

With "coordinated fights, body armor, and premeditated ambushes", trouble seems to follow Russian football fans and organised hooliganism was in full force at the 2016 Euros in Marseille when they clashed with England fans before and after the game - including charging and attempting to climb over fences to attack.
