Kumani ''( mk, Кумани)'' is a name referring to Ultras supporters of various sports clubs from the city of
Kumanovo in
North Macedonia.
History
The fans started to organize in the late 70's when there was an expansion of the creation of fan groups in
Yugoslavia. The first fan groups were called: ''Ultras'', ''Eagles'', ''Front'' and ''Sokolanci (the most loyal fans of Kumani Zapad)''. In 1989 all of them united under the name ''Delta Force''. This name didn't stay for long when on 19 February 1990 it was changed 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'' ( mk, Кумани-Запад).
