The subject of social media has attracted the attention of many intellectuals, academics, and researchers.

This is because of the role of the social media networks in activating people's interest in the posed problems and issues.

Therefore, this study aims to identify the role of social media networks in shaping social awareness in relation to the issue of hooliganism and crime in sport from the point of view of university youths.
