In a small, Italian town of Argentina called La Boca, plays one of the most followed clubs in the world, Boca Juniors. Technically, they may not match up to the standards of many other European teams, but what is special about this club is its supporting fanatics. They often crowd "La Bombonera," the home stadium, holding banners that cover the whole face of the stands. In fact, the team is so famous for its fans that the fans took on the nickname, "The twelfth player."
Die-hard fans of the team carry the team name to their grave, and they never fail to miss out on the games. Seating only about 45,000 people, the stadium which Boca Juniors calls home is not very big. However, it is not about quantity, but quality. The crowd chants and sings at every moment of the game, bringing drums and other instruments to synchronize the crowd. To see a video of the fans chanting at a home game, click this link.
