Plastic fans? Flamengo’s Nação are 2025 Brasileirão’s loudest | OneFootball

With a Good Lead, Flamengo Had the 'Loudest Sound' in the Brasileirão

Envious critics and detractors of Flamengo often say that the Nation is a “theater crowd.” But the fake news was debunked with studies that prove: the Flamengo fans were the loudest in the Série A of the Brazilian Championship of 2025.

The Flamengo fans led in average sound pressure, peak maximum, loudest minute, and sustained time above 90 decibels. In the 2024 research, each index had a different winner (São Paulo, Fluminense, Vasco, and Flamengo), for example. In other words, Mengão was the ‘champion of it all’.

WHAT IS THE RANKING OF THE LOUDEST FANS?

For the study, published by Jornal O Globo, 16 games were analyzed, involving the 16 hosts with the best average attendance in the Brasileirão. The measurement was conducted with calibrated professional equipment. The analyzed matches had more than 90% of tickets sold and took place between October and December.

WHAT IS THE PEAK REACHED BY FLAMENGO'S FANS?

The Nation impressed in the game against Bragantino, at Maracanã, reaching an average of 95.1 decibels, the highest index of the study. For comparison, it's the noise level of a rock concert, a running motorcycle, or a lawnmower. In fact, if this sound level continues for a long time, it can damage hearing.

In summary, the sound peak occurred during Arrascaeta's goal against Bragantino, when the Nation reached 114.9 decibels. On that occasion, the number 10 received a beautiful pass from Jorginho, cut through the defense, and scored with his left foot to open the scoring. Interestingly, one of the main teams accusing Flamengo of being a “theater crowd,” Vasco is ranked 14th in the study, after all.
