April through October is pro baseball season in Japan. Pro baseball is among the country's most popular sports. There are twelve teams in all, and the one with the most fans is the Tokyo Giants based in Tokyo. Tokyo Dome Stadium, where the Tokyo Giants play, draws about 40,000 spectators to watch each game.
And how do people in Japan cheer on their favorite team? Well, each team has its own cheering squad consisting of hardcore fans, and they compose a song in support of the team, with separate verses for each player. With the cheering squad leading the tune, the supporters in the stands sing each verse in chorus to the rhythm of the trumpet, cheering on the player of the moment. Here's what one of these songs might sound like:

Reel in the win♪ Give it all you got♪ Go, Nioka! Hit it, Nioka! Run, Nioka!!

The Tokyo Giants' team color is orange, so when the Giants score a run, the fans whirl something orange (like a towel or sheet of paper) around in the air and break into the following song:

VIVA! Giants♪ You glorious guys ♪ VIVA! Giants♪ You beautiful guys♪ Run around that gleaming diamond!

The other day Polyplastics' accounting people turned up at Tokyo Dome Stadium to cheer on the Giants. The whole group sang songs in support of each of the players as he came up to bat. And every time the Giants scored a run, they eagerly whirled around their orange towels, outdoing the players on the field for sheer enthusiasm. Toshiko Ueno of Accounting, a big fan of player Tomohiro Nioka, had a Nioka towel in her hand and a smile on her face from ear to ear.
If you ever have the chance to visit Japan, be sure to drop by Tokyo Dome Stadium to cheer on the Giants.

Like most people, I have a hobby. I like to watch football game, either on TV or live at the stadium. For the Malaysian Football Club, I am a member of the UPB-MyTEAM Football Club.

Forming the football team not for the glamour of winning but of unearthing new talent. I support MyTEAM just for the seek of promoting the development of football in Malaysia. Local fans are tired of teams with big budgets ala English Premier League, but fail to deliver when it matters.

With the logo similar to that of a European-based club, the new UPB-MyTEAM is not overzealous but remains modest in their affair towards the local scene.

Every match that involved MyTEAM, hundred of the cheering fans will love to see and give their moral support by wearing their red dress.

Lets cheers for our sport team.

Cheering for the different sports team in Singapore is not a common phenomenon as Singapore does not have a national sport which all Singaporeans would support. However, when there is a match between a Singapore team and other countries' team, Singaporeans would still be present to cheer our countries' team on. An example would be Singapore's soccer team. Spectators at the match would generally wear a red top with white prints on it as represents the colour of Singapore's national flag. In this way, the whole sea of spectators would represent Singapore's "national colour" - red and white. Besides wearing tops to represent Singapore and to cheer the team on, cheering items such as whistles, pom poms and mascots would be used. The national anthems of the competing teams would be played before the match and sights of the national flag would be seen hanging everywhere. Singaporeans would then shout and clap for the Singapore soccer team, cheering and jeering at any highlights of the game. The actions of all Singaporeans would be so unanimous that there is no need for a cheerleader to gather everyone. Singaporeans would normally shout "Ole Ole" to cheer the soccer team on and this probably meat "Go on".

Unlike most of the Western countries with professional cheerleaders, the cheerleading scene in Hong Kong is more of a leisure activity. Though rah-rah cheerleader and mascot are nowhere to be seen in the sports ground, Hongkongers make good use of Pong Bong sticks and inflated tools to make the whole stadium boils in excitement.
For most of the local basketball and football matches, the organisers would design their own Pong Bong sticks and give them to all the audience as a promotion tool and a cheer goody. Just by clapping the Pong Bong sticks, the audience can produce a louder replica of hands-clapping with little effort. Such kind of clapping along with the shouting of "defense" and the teams' names, the heat in the game stretches from the court to the spectator stand.
Other than the local matches, the world-renowned annual rugby tournament, Hong Kong Sevens, is definitely the highlight of our cheerleading scene. Not only does the audience use promotional Pong Bong sticks and inflated tools to cheer for the rugby players, their support for some particular countries are also incorporated into their costumes - French Afro, Mr. Incredible, Superman, Crusader, Flash Gordon, Power Ranger, gold yukata, cheongsam and even Greek Gods! Even if one is wearing a jersey, part of him would be covered with the body painting of a country's feature. The whole idea of "dress to cheer" also extends to charity work - in this year's Hong Kong Sevens, a group of Hongkongers wore specially designed t-shirt to raise the awareness of breast cancer, and donated the sum generated by the selling of t-shirts to the Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation.
The whole idea about cheerleading is to keep the spirit up. It might be a pity that we don't have any professional cheerleaders in Hong Kong, but the marketers surely know how to utilize the mass exposure and the fun in any competitions.

Cheers for wonderful match（From Guangzhou）

In China, fans mainly watch matches in the following places: gymnasium, bars, and home.
In the matches, the fans' associations usually arrange all fans to cheer for their favorite teams - they shout slogans together, beat gongs and drums, passing the national flag or team flag around, and sing the team anthem. In some important matches, they would have performance by the cheering squad for their team. When their team is scoring or having a good performance, they would roar loudly to cheer for their team and weaken the morale of the opponents. Among all the slogans, the most famous one is ‘Xiongqi'(雄起) - the slogan of Men Mettle, usually used by Sichuan fans.
In a bar, fans of the same team usually stay together. If fans of different teams stay in the same bar, it might lead to a brawl or riot. They drink beer or tea when watching the game; and "hooray", catcall, the sound of toasting and hitting the table always resound in the bar.
Normally we would invite a few friends to watch at home even if we are not supporting the same team. We just chat, drink and watch together. Occasionally, we would argue with each other on which team is going to be kicked out.
No matter which place we are in, which team we support or what mood we are in, one thing is always the same: We Love This Game.

Football is a sport attracting numerous people in every corner of the world. When the World Cup is coming off, fans are fascinating and even crazy for it. They stay nightlong in attempt to watch the match and they shout for their national team or the team they're favorite. In China, it is by no means an exception.
With the professionalizing of China's football league, more and more fans gather together to organize voluntarily cheer-up team to support their local football team. This time, I'd like to introduce Lanmo, the cheer-up team in Shanghai.
In fact, there is no more than one football team in Shanghai and Lanmo is the supporter for ShenHua football team, which is a professional team with strength and won championship of China's football league. So in Shanghai, it's many fans favorite team and those fans organized a cheer-up team officially named Lanmo. Each time when watching the match, the members of Lanmo dress themselves with uniforms in blue and all of them carry a towel with the football team's symbol to cheer for the team. Some of them may equip themselves with drums and fireworks. With the beat of drums, fans shout in order to encourage players to make the match more marvelous and score as soon as possible. If the team they favorite set the pace, they organize the man-made wave one by one or light the fireworks to celebrate for it. If ShenHua wins the match, they may sing song of "We're the Champion" together to show thankness for their heroes bringing them such a wonderful match.

Girls perform carefully choreographed stunting, tumbling, jumping and dancing in stadium during ball games. The audiences enjoy every minute of the performance without diverting eyes from girls. That kind of cheerleading derived from American cheerleading teams gains more and more popularity in Taiwan, and also obviously prevails over SBL (Super Basketball League) matches.

The show of cheerleaders warm up for competition during midfield or while the game is suspended for a break. Sexy cheerleaders gain spotlight with revealing outfits and sophisticated dance moves. They actively encourage not only athlete spirit at basketball game, but also increase prominent feature. This year the championship match of SBL finished while the TBBT (Taiwan Beer Basketball Team) shot a three-point shot winning the competition. Team member embraced each other and shouted excitedly. The basketball fans threw the green color ribbon everywhere. The on-the-spot basketball field looked like a green sea. As the finale, cheerleaders' performance promptly heightened crowd noise again.

Making the competition more attractive, basketball teams of SBL invited rah-rah cheerleader to perform at the stadium these days. The solemn, and sometimes tedious matches become full of bustling and noisy, and more persons liking sports are willing to watch on-the-spot matches.

While cheering, they will shout and acclaim all together with loud noises such as; "Thailand", "Fight!" and also wave Thai national flags at the same time. We can often see them in football matches, boxing ringside, and other international sports competitions both of which held in Thailand and in other countries.
These groups of cheerleaders made sports are more and more interesting for Thai people.

OK ZhongGuo: Self-explanatory.
ZhenXin ZhongHua- Phonetically: "jen-shin jong-hwa." This phrase was originally used in a political slogan which means to rebuild the Silver Age and reputation of China. When used as a cheer, it inspires Chinese patriotism.
