Through interviews with former hooligans, experts, and law enforcement officials, we aim to shed light on the motivations and consequences of such actions. By highlighting both the historical context and recent developments, GoalBorn seeks to foster dialogue on how to balance passionate support for teams with a commitment to safety and respect in the sporting world.
