#6 Universitario Lima (Trinchera Norte)
Trending
The Peruvian club’s Ultras faction, properly known as the Trinchera Norte has gained wide recognition for being one of the most violent fan groups in Latin America. However, that did not stop the club from celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2013, with even players of the club joining in to express their love for the faction.
Part of the Barra Bravas group, the passionate yet brutal Trinchera Norte have been involved in causing numerous match day troubles, since their inception close to three decades ago and make life miserable for the visiting fans as well as players with their antics.
Due to numerous violent events in the early 1990s a number of fans believed to be the leaders of the Ultras were arrested by police. However, that did not deter the group and they have since gone on to establish themselves as one of the most notorious fan bases in not only Latin America but across the globe.
Like the aforementioned Barra Bravas group, this Ultras segment too has been plagued by an interior struggle for power between two smaller groups, La Turba and Troop, which has caused numerous match day altercations and even led to the death of an Ultra during a fight.
