Moroccan poet Saad Serhan examines the complex relationship between football, societal shifts, and modern human passions. His work delves into the interplay of gender dynamics within the sport and the rise of “ultras” groups—organized fan bases—that extend beyond traditional support. Serhan views football as a microcosm reflecting broader historical, political, and cultural transformations. He argues these groups represent more than mere cheering sections, embodying a form of protest and symbolic creation. The analysis explores how football mirrors collective desires and, at times, violence. Ultimately, Serhan’s work seeks to decode the “language” of football’s key elements—gender and ultras—revealing their deeper significance.
