La Barra Brava

[1] It was founded in 1995 by Latino fans in the Washington, D.C. area, mostly Bolivian immigrants in support of original United players Marco Etcheverry and Jaime Moreno.

They sponsor away-game viewing parties, road trips to away matches and popular charity raffles that have raised thousands of dollars.

The organization also oversees Barra Brava FC, which fields several teams in the competitive Washington International Soccer League.

In 2006 the Barras expanded their events beyond the MLS season attending several of the NHL's Washington Capitals home games at the Verizon Center.

On several occasions, when games at Audi Field are shown on national television via ESPN or ABC, announcers will mention how La Barra Brava contribute to United's impressive home record.
