All as usual! Flamengo top CBF fan ranking in Brazil, check out the list | OneFootball

Of the 78% of Brazilians who support or sympathize with a team, 26% are for Flamengo

The Flamengo fanbase is called the Red-Black Nation for good reason. The largest in Brazil leads yet another survey by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), in partnership with Nexus, which shows the Most Beloved with the highest percentage of supporters in the country.

This is because the data analysis website’s survey states that 78% of Brazilians have supported or followed a team at some point in their lives. The rest, however, are not interested in the sport, either in the country or worldwide.

What is the ranking of fanbases in the country?

It’s clear that the difference between Flamengo and its state rival is 21%. For Corinthians, however, the advantage is 7%. Thus, the remaining percentage of supporters is distributed among other teams in the country.

Did anyone from the CBF comment on the fanbase survey?

“In general, football remains the national passion. (…) We are seeking to improve experiences, to win over fans so that they come to the stadium to watch the spectacle,” said Samir Xaud, president of the CBF, during the release of the survey.

Is Flamengo really all that?

The 26% of Flamengo supporters are just a slice of the massive fanbase as a whole. It’s no wonder that Flamengo launched, this year, a campaign at the United Nations (UN) to request the unprecedented title of Symbolic-Cultural Nation of the World.

The movement, which already has more than 600,000 signatures, claims that Flamengo is more than a club—it’s a lifestyle. To participate, just visit the website: https://peticao.flamengo.com.br/

With the support of the world’s largest fanbase, Flamengo plays this Saturday (15th), starting at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), against Sport at Arena de Pernambuco.

The match, a delayed 12th round game of the Brazilian Championship, will be broadcast on Prime Video. Coverage by Coluna do Fla TV brings all the details via YouTube, website, and social media.
