In the South American football confederation (CONMEBOL), discriminatory practices are similar to those in CONCACAF Hispanic countries, with some chants being transferable and replicated across the two confederations.

Hostility against immigrants, neighbouring countries, ethnic minorities and indigenous peoples can be traced back to the legacy of European colonialism and are a part of football and football fan culture. In Brazil, race relations have long been characterised by a belief in racial democracy or a post-racial society, but life opportunities have become deeply connected to exclusion based on wealth and social origin, which is also visible in football.
