Business as usual: Flamengo lead CBF fan ranking in Brazil, see list | OneFootball

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

The supporters of Flamengo are called Nação Rubro-Negra for a good reason. The largest in Brazil leads yet another survey by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), in partnership with Nexus, which indicates the Most Beloved with the highest percentage of fans in the country.

This is because the survey conducted by the data analysis site 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 in the country or the world.

What is the ranking of fans in the country?

It is noted that the difference between Flamengo and its state rival is 21%. However, the advantage over Corinthians is 7%. Thus, the remaining percentage of fans is distributed among other teams in the country.

Did anyone from CBF comment on the fan survey?

“Overall, football remains the national passion. (…) We are looking to enhance experiences, win over fans to come to the stadium and watch the spectacle,” said Samir Xaud, president of CBF, during the release of the survey.

Is Flamengo really all that?

The 26% of Flamengo supporters are just a slice of the large mass that is the complete fan base. No wonder Flamengo launched a campaign this year at the United Nations (UN) to request the unprecedented title of Symbolic-Cultural Nation of the World.

The movement, which already has over 600,000 signatures, advocates that Flamengo is more than a club, it is a lifestyle. To participate, just visit the site: https://peticao.flamengo.com.br/
