Left-Wing football teams

[Leighton Staines]

Alright everyone, was reading about Legia Warsaw's exclusion from the Champions League cause I felt sorry for them, but then not so much when I found out that the ultras section are fascist and right-wing haha. Other teams like Lazio and Hellas Verona are somewhat similar, so it got me thinking about what teams in World football fit the bill of being left-wing, Socialist clubs... any ideas?

Try just about any team with Dinamo in their name, though the times they are a-changing in the old Soviet bloc countries.

Well, our lovable neighbours wear red...

Livorno and FC Sankt Pauli are the epitome of left-wing clubs.

 

[Hellerad]

Livorno?

Come to think of it, we were pretty much a left-wing club for a few seasons recently as we had nothing on the right side....

Very true, so they're out, fair enough. But you gotta feel sorry for them, when the player comes on for like 5 mins when they're 3-0 up.

Maybe Corinthians? Think they had some kind of left-wing movement led by Socrates when he was playing for them.

Livorno?

Since 2005, a group of migrant Livorno supporters resident in northern Europe have styled themselves Partigiani Livornesi Scandinavia (Livornian partisans of Scandinavia). A so-called "triangle of brotherhood" has developed between the most heavily supported left-wing fan clubs of Olympique de Marseille, Livorno, and AEK Athens, namely between Commando Ultras 84, Brigate Autonome Livornesi 99, and Original 21. Their connection is mostly an ideological one. They also have a connection with Adana Demirspor (Şimşekler), Celtic and Omonoia of Nicosia. The team's friendly game in September 2009 with Adana Demirspor created a leftist rally in the city of Adana, Turkey.

I have no sympathy for their stupidity.

Atalanta (bergamo) are left wing.

Livorno is the the city in Italy that the Italian communist party was founded in, hence the leaning to the left.
