Abstract

This study aimed to analyze and discuss rooting for football teams in bars in the city of Belo Horizonte. Rooting and attending the numerous bars in the city are seen as important leisure expressions for the population. We used field diary notes and interviews conducted under ethnographic inspiration. Research has shown that TV broadcasting of football matches is important for bar owners since their profits increase on those days. We observed that meeting and socializing with other fans, forming bonds with bar owners and consuming alcohol are the main factors that lead people to root for their teams in bars.
