#1 Estudiantes

You only have to rewind to the break-out of a mass brawl between players in Estudiantes’ game with rivals Gimnasia in January this year to discover how the fierce passion of the fans occasionally reaches such a level as to transpire to the pitch.
It’s not surprising perhaps that obsessive fans of the Argentinian outfit are deemed to be so dangerous, when you consider that the most successful Estudiantes side of all side, which reigned in the 1960s, employed intimidating, physical and borderline dirty tactics to climb to the top of the greasy pole of Argentinian football. Such determination to win transpired quickly to the fans who are now well renowned for purposefully engaging in fights in the stands, but namely for their die-hard love of the beautiful game.
Away from the scraps and violent aspects typically associated with other such ‘ultras’, supporters of the club from the La Plata region are also known for having built friendships with other sides including Quilmes, Témperley and Platense. Some prominent fans include tennis player Juan Monáco.
