Just as the title says, this city goes crazy for soccer. Everyone here is a fan of it, and obviously, they all support the local team. To everyone's excitement, the city's team won the Venezuelan soccer championship, claiming a new trophy!
The final match was played away, in another city. When they returned, they were greeted by literally everyone. The people of this city accompanied them all the way home!
I stopped on one of the main avenues to wait for the team to pass and take photos. I honestly didn't expect the huge crowd I saw. It was insane!
About 20 minutes before, the team arrived and tons of people started showing up on motorcycles with flags and everything!
I was surprised to even see someone dressed as a dog!
Within minutes, I saw them arrive, along with a sea of people on motorcycles and cars!
And finally, I had them a couple of meters away, close enough to photograph the team with the trophy!
The next photo clearly shows what I mean by "a sea of people"
There were also many buses full of people. I photographed a few:
And this last one I thought was epic because they brought the seat from the stadium of the opposing team:
This doesn't happen every day, but when it does, people overflow with passion for soccer!
I hope you liked these photos as much as I did!
