Abstract
This communication intends to present the emergence and the strategies of action of two representative entities of organized groups of football fans: the Federation of Organized Groups of Football Fans of Rio de Janeiro - FTORJ (2008) and the National Association of Organized Groups of Football Fans of Brazil - ANATORG (2014). The constitution of these collective movements will be analyzed in the context of the mega-events hosted in Brazil (World Cup 2014 and Olympic Games 2016), the initiatives and measures adopted by the public power to prevent violence and the growing process of criminalization of the organized groups of football fans by the media. Based on observations from the ethnographic field research and qualitative interviews conducted between 2010 and 2016, the aim is to offer a panel of the set of initiatives led by these groups to defend their rights in the midst of the current political and social crisis experienced by Brazil.
