The soccer as show still has among its challenges the violences both in the stadiums and outside them. This sport has different types of spectators here named as amateur, fans and supporters, ranging from the purely aesthetic approach to soccer, through the preference of a team to participation in support groups. In this work, from Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of habitus, it was possible to identify, from an analysis of the discourse, an amateur habitus, a fan habitus and a supporter habitus, all related in different ways to the violence within the field of show soccer. It is concluded that the violent habitus is not an individual condition but a disposition built on interaction and produced by the contextual evaluation of these acts.
