Garra Blanca (White Claw) is the title given to a barra brava that was created in Chile by the supporters of Santiago based football club Colo-Colo.
Amid the military regime of Augusto Pinochet, marginalized members of Chilean society decided to unite and form a voice of identity.
Fighting with security personnel, the Chilean national police, and other team barra bravas is a common occurrence.
Garra Blanca leaders are reported to have an unofficial relationship with Blanco y Negro, the corporate entity that is in charge of Colo-Colo.
The board of directors deny such an alliance and have only stated that the barra brava is recognized for stadium safety reasons.
