Barra brava is a name for organized supporter groups of football teams in Latin America. This style of supporting is very similar to European ultras. It includes standing throughout the match, singing and other enthusiastic behavior. Some barras bravas have developed reputations for hooliganism. The term originated in Argentina in the 50s and 60s, but it has spread throughout the Americas. In Brazil, the organized torcida plays a similar role and in Mexico both the term barras and porras are used.
