“LA BANDA LOCA” FOLLOWS ARGENTINIAN BASKETBALL TEAM WHEREVER IT GOES FOR 14 YEARS

They are seen wearing their blue and white wigs and cheering their team up at every moment. Dressed in the multicolored shirts of their favorite clubs, they are always present in every important competition the Argentinian basketball team participates in. They are drawn by an immeasurable passion, born 14 years ago, in the golden generation led by Emanuel Ginóbili. Since then, a group of 25 fans from different provinces of Argentina gather together to follow their team. Lima 2019 is not an exception. 

Nowadays, there are different idols. Now, they encourage Facundo Campazzo or Luis Scola, but the “albiceleste” identity never changes. They were also present on the Eduardo Dibós Coliseum stands, full of joy and encouraging their team to make the dream of the Pan American gold true. 

“La Banda Loca” follows the Argentina team since 2004, when the golden generation lead by "Manu" Ginóbili was born. We're going to the world championship in China at the end of the month. We are crazy for the Argentinian basketball team. It's in our blood,” said Silvio, who was born in Chubut. 

Another fan called “doctor Rosso”, who came from San Luis province, firmly said. “This is a team that always surprises us and gives us joy. They convinced us one day Argentina will be a world champion or an Olympic champion. This team embodies the true spirit of Argentinian sports. The game identity football doesn't have and basketball never lost,” he concluded. 

“La Banda Loca” has already been to four Olympic Games, three FIBA World Championships, and three Pan American Games. The Argentinian basketball team will always have the support of their fans in the most important competitions.
