The Swedish football supporter culture has for the past years been more recognized by the media. The phenomenom has been under debate since its increase in the beginning of the 1990’s. The purpose of this study was to examine how the Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet, Expressen and Göteborgs-Posten framed the Swedish football supporter culture between the years 2016-2022. This timeline is examined during the quantitative content analysis and all of the examined newspaper has a history which contain articles regarding the subject. We chose to analyze the newspapers printed press since they, with the help of agenda setting, chooses what stories to publish. We also decided to research if there was a significant difference in the newspapers framing of our subject before, under and after the pandemic. To support the study we have used the framing theory and the agenda setting theory as theoretical frameworks. The results of the study accentuated that the examined newspapers often framed the Swedish football supporter culture in a negative maner. Despite the majority of the articles were neutral framed, there was a predominant amount of negative framed news compared to positive framed ones. However, the results concluded in this study shows that there was an anomaly in the results during the 2020 season. The framing of football supporter culture in the analyzed newspapers showed a more positive rather than negative framing of the culture during this particular period.
