Supporting a team or person.
زمینه فرهنگی
During the FIFA World Cup, even those who don't usually follow soccer will 'fare il tifo' for the 'Azzurri' (the national team). It becomes a moment of national unity. In Naples, 'fare il tifo' for the local team (SSC Napoli) is deeply tied to the city's identity and history, often seen as a form of social redemption. Young Italians use 'fare il tifo' on social media by commenting with heart emojis or 'Daje!' (Roman slang for 'Come on!') to show support for influencers or friends. The Sanremo Music Festival is the only non-sporting event where 'fare il tifo' is used with the same competitive intensity as a soccer match.
