Football is a popular sport among many people all over the world, including in Indonesia. High levels of enthusiasm and fanaticism among supporters can sometimes trigger negative behavior such as riots. Based on several previous studies, one of the factors causing fanaticism is emotional influence. This study, through correlational quantitative methods, aims to find out whether there is a relationship between Emotion-Focused Coping and football fanaticism. The sample was 298 football fans selected through an accidental sampling technique. The research instruments are the Ways of Coping Scale for the Emotion-Focused Coping scale and the Sports Fanaticism Scale for the fanaticism scale. Pearson’s Product Moment analysis on SPSS version 25 for Windows shows a correlation value of 0.190 with a p-value < 0.05. These results indicate a relationship between Emotion-Focused Coping and football supporter fanaticism.
