Abstract
The aim of this research is to explore the consequences of being in love and committed to a
football (soccer) club and a team for the fans. Data was collected through 28 in-depth interviews.
In the qualitative data collection for this work first we realize 97 telephone interviews and then
we made 28 in-depth interviews. In this paper we present the findings of the 28 in-depth
interviews concerning the consequences of being deeply in love with the football club.
Respondents were between 22 and 70 years of age and engaged in a range of different jobs and
functions. The interviews were recorded and transcribed and the NVIVO software was employed
to help in content data analysis. The findings reveal six major themes: personal, financial, family,
life planning, job and friends.
