These fans are a huge part of the club, having their own association with anthems that ring out across the stadium during matchdays.

These fans, known as Curva Nord, took part in a huge hip-hop project by American rapper Kanye West, who was making his long-awaited return to the rap scene since his 2021 album Donda. These fans were credited with providing additional vocals on one of the tracks on the album called ‘Carnival’.
