Jeux sans frontières ?

Based on the study of secondary fan attachments among fans of the German Bundesliga team Bayer Leverkusen, this paper explores articulations of Europeanness in contemporary football fandom. Drawing om qualitative audience research with textually and enunciatively active fans and tracing the complex and hybrid identity formations among fans that are articulated through multiple, transnational fan objects, the paper argues that Europeanisation facilitates post national attachments within a European frame of changing horizons of experience.
