torcida
Torcidas organizadas (Portuguese pronunciation: [toɾ'sidɐs oɾgɐ̃ni'zadɐs]) are formal (or informal) associations of football fans in Brazil in the same vein as barras bravas in the rest of Latin America, hooligan firms in United Kingdom and ultras in the rest of Europe, Asia, Australia and North Africa. The name is based on the Portuguese verb torcer, which means "to wring" or "to twist"; the definition shifted to "to root for" after wringing scarfs became an emotional outlet for female Brazilian spectators attending football matches in the 1930s. The rationale for the fans' behavior is that it can help the team gather strength to beat the opponent. Due the hooliganism and violence associated with the Torcidas organizadas, the Brazilian government created the Estatuto do Torcedor, a law which regulates the Torcidas organizadas, giving them rights and duties.
