Abstract

Arema football fans have a robust paradigm in fully supporting their favorite football club. The manifestation of this thought is reflected in the fanatical attitude of the supporters who mobilized support both physically and materially. This research aims to identify the extent of the fanatical behavior shown by the fans. The research method uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological research type. The subjects in this study were eight supporters of the Arema football club with an age range of 22-45 years. The data analysis technique uses interpretive phenomenological analysis. The study results show that supporters' fanatical behavior forms an ideology represented through personal attitudes, lifestyle, loyalty, and loyalty, as well as personal and Family self-motivation.
