Brazilian Fans Cheer for Argentina

The Argentina national team has a growing group of Brazilian fans who support them. They are Brazilian fans who wear Argentine team jerseys and jump with enthusiasm.

What's happening with Brazilian fans?

Brazilian fans who support the Argentina national team do so because of their admiration for Lionel Messi and the passion of Argentine fans for football. Thiago Arantes, a Brazilian journalist, says that the Messi factor is key.

Why do they do it?

The lack of a Brazilian idol of stature and the appropriation of the national team jersey by the Bolsonaro government also influence the decision of some Brazilians to support the Argentina national team.

The passion of Argentine fans for their team has infected many Brazilian fans. In a bar in Sao Paulo, Brazilian fans show their Argentine pride and enjoy learning Argentine chants and rituals.
