Las barras bravas del fútbol profesional colombiano a través de la mirada de la serie web documental: Desde la tribuna

Abstract

The present research examines the phenomenon of barras bravas in Colombian professional soccer through the web documentary series Desde la tribuna. The study analyzes how these fan groups persist and maintain their presence in national soccer, despite the predominantly negative narrative in the media. The research explores the motivations, experiences, and sociocultural factors that influence young people's participation in these groups, which emerged in Colombia in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Through the production of the web series, the project aims to offer a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective of these urban tribes, challenging existing stereotypes and highlighting aspects such as cultural identity, a sense of belonging, and passion for soccer that characterize these collectives.
