Kumani (Macedonian Cyrillic: Кумани) is a name referring to Ultras supporters of various sports clubs from the city of Kumanovo in Macedonia.
History
The fans started to organize in the late 70's when there was an expansion of creation of fan groups in Yugoslavia. The first fan groups were called: Ultras, Eagles, Front and Sokolanci. In 1989[1] all of them united under the name Delta Force. This name didn't stay for long when on 19 February 1990 it was changed in to Kumani. The name came from the Asian nomadic tribe Cumans that lived in Kumanovo in the Middle Ages. Their main transparent is Kumani-Zapad (Macedonian Cyrillic: Кумани-Запад)
Rivalry
In March 2012 an incident was registered in Boris Trajkovski Arena between Kumani.[2] and Lirija from Saraj municipality in Skopje. The first provocation started from Lirija fans when they were sitting and making noises when Macedonian anthem was playing. Later Kimani fans were fighting with the fans and the Police. Local fans of Belgrade Red Star Delije attacked 3 kumani fans with baseball bats. Police made some arrests.[3] In October 2012 in SRC Kale Kumani were fighting Komiti fans, police had to intervene and stands were emptied at halftime.[4]
