Lore & Background
After a game played in Vila Belmiro, fans who decided to set up the new movement painted a few tracks with the name of Força Jovem. Today, Força Jovem is considered the third largest crowd of the club, with its profile increased by the fact that in recent times the firm have cooperated extensively with the military police against hooligans and stadium violence. In its beginning, the new firm had generated controversy, an innovator of it being the firm's colors.
Because the uniform of Santos FC was generally a combination of black and white, other firms openly questioned Força Jovem's heavy usage of black. Since then, black is what draws the most attention in the crowd, symbolizing the Alvinegro Praiano. The club has 12 tracks, 2 flag holders and a battalion with more than 20 instruments. The current president is Pedro.
The firm's headquarters are located in the city of Santos at Rua Benedito Ernesto Guimarães, bairro Marapé, with the building being named after its founder. The group currently has over 2,500 members.
