This research examines the liberating and socializing effects of football on women by exploring the history of the female fan group ‘Purple Violets’, who have been passionately devoted to the football team ‘Orduspor’ from 1967 to today. The women in the fan group, who never missed matches in the 1970s and 1980s, slowly disappeared from the stadium. This transformation was also related to the gender politics of the current government. The article is derived from a documentary project which involves interviews with 29 key players: female fans, football players and team managers, and archival research, This study suggests that football fandom played an important role in the socialization and liberation of women in Ordu in the 1970s and 1980s. However, the contemporary commercialization and politicization of football, bad management of the team and the gender discriminatory policies affect female football fandom negatively and keep them away from the stadium.
