The first group of Ultras appeared in Italy around the end of the sixties and early seventies. The ultras displayed a series of unique characteristics totally new to football: a paramilitary look taken from the one in vogue with a number of extremist political organisations of the time: parka, Dr. Martens boots, camouflage combat suits and jackets worn under scarves with the colours of their clubs.
In this way, support came to be considered as part of the strategy and tactics used to win a match: the "twelfth player", so as to speak. They also made widespread use of pyrotechnics (hand-held signal flares, smoke flares, rockets and coloured Bengal lights), to bring an extra touch of liveliness to the terraces. Using chanting, more often than not obsessive, to encourage their heroes or stun and intimidate their adversaries. came to be the hallmark of the Italian style: phantasmagoric, enormous, multicoloured shows and spectacle on a vast scale, to great visual effect; the power of all-Italian fantasy.

So, I would draw the paralell between the TIFO movement of the time and Che Guerva and his political movement... Perhaps I'm incorrect - as admitedly I spent more time dealing with history - but none the less it would be interesting to know Che's influence in sports...
