What is tifo?

Tifo is derived from the Italian word tifosi, which describes a group of fans, or when used in the form “tifo” more commonly describes choreographed fan support through the use of flags, two-pole banners, smoke/pyro/flares, other visuals such as card displays, and so on. Ultras groups throughout the world create tifo in support of their team or to insult rival teams and supporters.
