As data analysis, na interpretative analysis was performed through the transcription of the audios made by the participants, thus, the study was divided into three categories "Violence among Organized Fans", "Fans' participation in confrontations" and "Organized Fans and the media". With the research data, we can conclude that the involvement of these organized fans in confrontations is related to the search for adrenaline and excitement, in which the refusal to participate may represent their exclusion from that group or a depreciation of their image before the group of organized fans. However, we can also notice a mobilization of the fans in social projects as mentioned by some of the interviewees, the fans represent a family for their members.
