The purpose of this paper is to present some theses, and some frameworks of understanding as well, with the purpose of observing and understanding the emergence of football crews and supporters on Chile social uprising since last 18th of October. On the basis of reviewing a series of events and news covered on the media, where crews and supporters were involved on that period of time, the discussion is developed through three questions which thus enable this study, How can the emergence of football crews be explained within the context of this social uprising?; What is the current relation between political affairs and football crews? and What does Chilean academic production offer to explain or not?; and How and Why these football crews have become a priority of public security in this context? The main conclusions point to two transformations, which started in 2010, There have been societal transformations (politicization of society and democratization of social relations) that allow us to understand its emergence in the framework of the social revolt of October 2019, as well as to explain the changes in organized barrism in its last years.
