Soccer is the world’s most widely practiced sport. It is also, above all, the most often commented, covered, and watched sport. Every week in France, as elsewhere, hundreds of thousands of fans arrive to take their seats in stadium stands to cheer on their team, and to sing, dance and shout for two whole hours. Dans les tribunes is a thoughtful discussion of what life is like in the stands, of what people say and do there and of the ways in which they sing and dance there. The essay is based upon the assumption that, by frequently denouncing the fans’ violence or foolish behaviours, people are showing their total ignorance of the very special celebration – one which combines love and knowledge – that is taking place in the stands and which is one of soccer’s distinct features.For there is something sacred about the ceremony taking place in the stands during soccer matches. Not because it resembles a mass, but because those who go there are performing a core ritual, which ends in a genuine revelation – what the Ancient Greeks used to call an “apocalypse” – a collective dance and trance which would bring men and gods together. Today’s stands are the equivalent of antiquity’s mystery cults.It took someone who is both a soccer fan and an antiquity expert to understand it.
