Tifo

A “tifo” is a massive visual display created by fans — usually a banner, choreography, or artwork shown before kickoff to inspire their team.

Example:

“The Dortmund fans unveiled an incredible tifo covering the entire stand.”

Why It Matters

It’s part of football culture — pure passion and artistry from supporters. Tifos turn stadiums into canvases and moments into collective identity.

Everyday Comparison (U.S. Sports)

Closest thing might be college football card stunts or NBA playoff whiteouts — but tifos are 100% fan-organized, unpaid, and personal.
