Abstract

This study aims to examine the meaning of supporters for the Northernwall community in Bandung City. The research questions include the motives of the Northernwall community in becoming football supporters, how they perceive themselves as supporters, and the communication experiences that occur in the stands. The research method employed is phenomenology with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques consist of observation, interviews, and documentation to deeply explore information from informants. This study involves five informants selected based on their experiences and involvement in the Northernwall community. The findings indicate that the meaning of being a supporter for Northernwall members is not merely about supporting a team, but also represents a form of identity and solidarity. Supporter motives vary, ranging from love for football to the influence of the subcultural identity they embrace. Communication experiences within the Northernwall community occur effectively through social media and direct interactions in the stadium. This strengthens the sense of togetherness and loyalty among members, creating a profound emotional bond with the supported team. This research provides insights into the complexities of the supporters' roles within the cultural and social context in Indonesia.
