VIDEO: Are these Turkish Regional Amateur League fans the best in the world?

The fans of fourth-tier Turkish side Kocaelispor put on a display more regularly seen at some of the world's biggest clubs than in the lower leagues.

Throughout the footballing world, there are many sets of fans that have a reputation for fantastic support and wild pyrotechnic displays.

The usual groups included in this bracket include Boca Juniors and River Plate, Olympiakos and Panathinaikos and Galatasaray and Fenerbahce but few outside of Turkey will be familiar with Kocaelispor in the Turkish Regional Amateur Leagues.

Down in the fourth tier of Turkish football, which is split between 13 small groups of semi-professional and amateur sides, Kocaelispor has fallen from grace in recent years, winning the Turkish Cup in 2002 and competing in the Super Lig as recently as 2003, before financial issues set in.
