When Russian footballers win the prestigious European and world championships, the fans are overjoyed. Thanks to them, even people far from this sport are beginning to be proud of the country's achievements. In 2018, Russia will host the FIFA World Cup, and people will again have to think about how to root for the national team.
Instructions
Step 1
To feel like a real fan, find out on the website of the Russian Football Union some information about the national team of the country. National colors are red T-shirts, underpants and leggings. The reserve color of the form is white. Be sure to look at the squad and remember the names of the players. This will help you better navigate what is happening when you hear the opinions of other fans or the comments of experts. National teams are divided into men and women, and those, in turn, are basic, youth and junior. Among all groups, the corresponding competitions of the European and world level are held.
Step 2
Find out the schedule of matches for the coming year and track the results. To worry about the team, you have to mentally travel with it, “attend” training sessions and training camps. A team is a large team that includes not only players, but also doctors, cooks, etc. The general mood and the results of the competition depend on each. All sympathizers also enter this circle, although they are at a distance. It is not for nothing that among football players, fans are called the "twelfth player", emphasizing the importance of this role. Such thoughts will help you feel like part of a team that includes people from all over the country.
Step 3
Buy soccer merchandise related to the national team. These are form elements, themed scarves, calendars, flags, posters, etc. The more enthusiasm you show, the more noticeable it is to those around you. Such efforts are seen by footballers who come to a specific city to compete. Strong visible support strengthens their spirit, which is important in difficult moments of battle.
Step 4
If you can travel abroad, be sure to purchase tickets for matches with the participation of the national team. Encourage your acquaintances to do this to support the team more closely. The more “friends” there are at the stadium, the more pleasant it is for the athletes.
Step 5
Observe the culture of behavior in the stadium, in the sports bar, or when you meet randomly with fans of other teams.
Step 6
Be loyal to your team during difficult times. In big sports, coaches and players change, there are defeats. At such moments, build confidence in your surroundings in future victories.
Step 7
Unite with like-minded people, even if you live in a remote area of the country from the main events. Do not limit yourself to watching what is happening alone, but share your emotions with people who also have pride in their country and believe in its sports prospects.
