Capos, amazing guys, with love and passion in their veins, unfortunatelly some of them are responsible for many tragedies, nevertheless these pictures are amazing, they really catch your eye. Its interesting when you say the capo misses most part of the game. Its very interesting. Good post. Best wishes dude.

I have Stood in Front of Section 8 for entire halves before, but my voice is dead at the end. I thrive to lead the section for an entire 90 minutes one game… not because i want to steal the spot light for myself but because i Demand a 90 effort from any player wearing a fire badge on their chest and wish to show the club that same devotion/passion. There will come a game when I will be called upon to put forth a full 90 for my club and I will be ready and i will pour every bit of breath i have in me to make sure every last one of you is single LOUD AND PROUD the entire match. the team deserves it, not to mention needs our support.

Well, in an Italian context, it is a little bit more complex than this. Each ultras group has its own leader or leaders, but the capo of an individual group is not necessarily the same as a capo of the whole curva. And the head of the group is not always the same as the person leading the tifo.

Also, one group might be more important or more numerous than another, so the capi of the smaller groups may only conduct their own section not the whole curva.And there’s no need to limit it to one man, there can be 2 or 3 at a time coordinating chants together. At Roma there are dozens of ultras acting as capi across the curva as a whole at any one time.

Moreover – and especially since they banned the use of megaphones – no one man can keep up that level of shouting for an entire 90 minutes, so there’s every chance that they take turns. At a big club it’s almost impossible that only one individual could occupy the role alone.
