Documented history
Hooligans Vallès: CE Sabadell's ultra group between 1993 and 2011
Hooligans Vallès was an ultra group of CE Sabadell. Its own 2011 statement places its foundation in 1993 and speaks of eighteen years of history, during which, according to the group, it was present at Segunda B and Tercera grounds. According to Vilaweb, it was born as an animation group and drifted towards fascist positions.
1993–2011: from animation group to fascist ultras
According to Vilaweb, the group was born in 1993 as an animation group of Sabadell and gradually became a fascist ultra group; those who did not share that ideology left for another part of the stadium. In its 2011 farewell, the group itself recalled having been born to support the club in its worst years and having travelled the grounds of Segunda B and Tercera.

On 6 June 2011, Saballuts reproduced a note attributed to the group's website, in which its board ended the group's run 18 years after its foundation. It referred to the team's return to Segunda and to the arrival of new generations willing to cheer, and to the breach of internal rules on respect and flags. Vilaweb wrote in 2016 that the group came to an end after being expelled from the stadium by the club, and an anonymous former member linked it to the promotion and the rise of the independence movement. The same outlet added that former members still attended the Nova Creu Alta in a personal capacity.

Ràdio Sabadell reports that, coinciding with a derby against Terrassa, graffiti with Nazi symbols appeared next to the stadium, along with stickers linking the Sabadell crest to Hooligans Vallès. In October 2025, after Sabadell–Nàstic, spectators reported Nazi symbols and insults from supporters in the north goal linked to the group, according to 3Cat; the club announced it would act against fascism in the stadium.

Ràdio Sabadell's report of 17 January describes a text by HHSBD that claimed to be «més vius que mai, des del 1993» («more alive than ever, since 1993»), referring to the former Hooligans Vallès, and that used the club's crest alongside neo-Nazi symbols. The claim points back to the historic name, but does not establish that the two groups have the same leaders or members. The club announced its intention to identify and sanction the members who belong to that group.
See this section's source ↗CE Sabadell's public response
The same report reproduces the club's condemnation of violence, hatred, threats and exclusion, and of the attempt to associate its crest and history with such conduct. The club thus distinguished its position from the messages of the group mentioned and did not attribute them to its supporters as a whole.
