Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!
Today´s #sportsphotography contest hosted by @juliank sounds like the perfect opportunity to share my last weekend´s adventure with you.
In one of my previous posts, I already mentioned that the football (soccer) club from my hometown, SFC Opava, finally made it to the highest Czech competition (after long 13 years!) so we were all very excited about the first game of the new season.
The draw had little mercy with our team though as it sent us against the most successful and famous Czech football team ever, AC Sparta Prague. On the other hand, it was the kind of game where the outsiders do not have much to lose and we, the fans, were determined to make our players feel like home through our support.
Although Opava put up a brave fight against the Prague favorites, we eventually ended up defeated 0:2. However, we did manage to clinch one victory that day. While our players lost on the pitch, we, Opava fans, had the upper hand over our Prague rivals in supporting.
Although we had to travel across almost the whole country to be there for our players, a massive crowd of some 1,500 supporters arrived to Prague. Not bad for a town of just over 50,000 inhabitants, huh? :) We were cheering like crazy the whole match, howling the Spartan fans down.
Here is a shot of just a part of the crowd that I took during our march from the railway station to the stadium. (yes, yellow is the color of our club :)
How about you, my Steemit friends, do you root for your hometown sport clubs? Or do you prefer supporting some of the world´s most popular teams such as FC Barcelona or Manchester United? Let me know in the comments below!

There is something about football that makes you want to go all out to support your team. My town team is very loved in our community. The stadium gets so full, those who stay close to the stadium sot on their rooftops just to watch the game.
Tried it once and believe me, it was a solid experience but not as good as being in the stadium itself. Nothing beats that

Bylo to opravdu jen na otočku - na nádraží už na nás čekal policejní kordon, který nás dovedl na stadion a po utkání zase zpátky na vlak. Trhnout se ani nedalo. Jedna z nevýhod fandění týmu s tzv. rizikovými fanoušky no :D Přitom jsme takoví fajn klucííí (a holky) :) Až budu v Praze aspoň na pár dní, dám vědět ;)

I live in Colorado and yes we have hometown pride. Orange and blue for the Denver Broncos. Even when they are having a losing season. I think it is better to be loyal than a fair weather fan.

Nice! I am very glad to hear that :) We are also very loyal fans. We supported our team even they got relegated to as low as the fourth tier a few years ago.
Let´s go Broncos let´s go! :))
