Abstract
In football, the fans can be qualified as the tremendous power of teams that are thought to have a significant share in the success. The fans support their team both materially and morally by integrating with the team emotionally. Sometimes, the emotional bond possessed goes beyond the normal and results in the understanding of seeing one's team as superior to other teams. This research aims to examine the interaction between football fans' fanaticism and football team evangelism (eFANgelism). As part of the study group of the research, 448 football fans participated. Research data were collected with the football fanaticism scale and the sports eFANgelism scale. In the study, comparisons were made between fanaticism and eFANgelism in terms of the variables of the participants. Among the models created in the research, it was suggested that Model1= football fans' eFANgelism levels had a positive effect on their fanaticism, Model2= violence tendency and corporate affiliation had a positive effect on eFANgelism, and the hypothesis was tested. As a result of testing the hypotheses, H1= eFANgelism has a two-way positive and significant effect on the violence tendency of football fans (p<0.01).
