Boixos Nois

Hello cules ! Today i'm going to share you some info about FC Barcelona ultras. It is called Boixos Nois.

The Boixos Nois (English: Crazy Boys, from the Catalan word "Bojos" meaning crazy) is an ultras supporter group organised around the football club FC Barcelona, based in the Spanish autonomous community Catalonia. Founded in 1981 it was composed of left-leaning Catalan nationalists, until a surge of skinheada joining in the mid-1980s saw the political orientation turn from Catalan nasionalism and socialism to far-right Catalan separitism and far-right Spanish nasionalism. For many years the Boixos Nois enjoyed a close relationship with FC Barcelona until former president Joan Laporta banned their presence at games in 2003.

They are notorious in Spain for their violent behaviour and frequent clashes with authorities, with some members being convicted for death threats, murder, illegal firearms possession, extortion and drug trafficking.

Founded in 1981, the Boixos is a Catalan mix between a financial support group and a fan club. The Boixos Nois started as a small group of no more than 50 young fans, who strongly identified with pro-independence Catalan nationalism and left-wing socialism.

Since its foundation, the group was hated by a high numer of people in the stadium, who was used to see the matches with an absolutely tranquility, but these boys, started to shout, bring flags and threw flares.

Quick they became enemies of some fascist and Spanish nationalist groups like LFN (Zaragoza) or Ultras Sur (Real Madrid).

In the following years, the city of Barcelona experienced an eruption in skinheads, who identified with right-wing separatism. The skinheads joined the Boixos Nois and slowly moved their political ideology from social-liberalism to fascism, causing factions within the group. Inspired by British hooligans, the remaining Boixos Nois became violent. The first fights with other groups, especially against the Ultras Sur and the Espanyol Ultras, arrived.

Boixos Nois has got a friendship with the Standarte Bremen (SV Werder Bremen), with some ultras of Genoa C.F.C. and only some members of the ultras group of Barcelona has got a friendship with the Curva A/B from Naples (S.S.C. Napoli).
