This study examines football supporters' emotional expressions at football matches. The study uncovers this through the analysis of football supporters from the Stockholm-basedfootball club AIK, by conducting participant observation and ethnographic interviews.There has been a lack of studies specifically analysing the emotions of football supporters,particularly in anthropology. Thus, the essay aims to understand how specific emotions comeabout through an ecological approach to emotions, in combination with the concept ofemotional styles. The author shows how football supporters come to learn and remembercertain skills through the engagement with the environment, a process which the emotions arepart of, and how these engagements can shape certain emotional registers which are thencollectively displayed.
