Portugal
Portuguese supporters might just rank among the most passionate soccer enthusiasts worldwide! Their dedication to the sport creates a beautiful spectacle in stadiums. During the 2018 World Cup, fans Carlos Brum and Pedro Lobotomy demonstrated extraordinary commitment by driving an astonishing 7,000 kilometers from Lisbon to Russia solely to support their national squad—an inspiring display of devotion to both soccer and national pride.
These enthusiastic Portuguese supporters cheered their team to victory against Morocco and held their rivals Spain to a draw in tournament play. Bolstered by such fervent backing, Portugal’s national team achieved sixth place in FIFA’s men’s rankings in 2018, though they had dropped slightly to ninth position by October 2022.
