Abstract
This research aims to explore a new phenomenon in the dynamics of football fandom in Indonesia. Football fans in Indonesia are making a difference beyond coming for matches in stadiums, through disaster resilience initiatives, food banks, and environmental conservation efforts. But, they still associate the three above with the activities they engage in inside the stadium. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, conducted in the cities of Yogyakarta, Surakarta, and Surabaya. The findings of this research indicate that the new social movements regarding disaster resilience, food banks, and environmental conservation by Indonesian football fans originated from the football fans' concern about the situation in society. Football fans are building a movement based on the Sustainable Development Goals through inter-fan networks. Football fans from the middle class are becoming the driving force behind a new social movement among football fans in Indonesia. Indonesian football fans demonstrate literacy and awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals.
