Belo Horizonte, Brazil – X user luka filmed from the upper stands of the Mineirão stadium on November 19, 2025, during a massive free “aula de IA” event organized by the Minas Gerais state government for thousands of public high school students.

What begins as a normal, hyped up crowd quickly erupts into full scale chaos. Hosts on stage shout out each of the three major rival fanbases — Cruzeiro in blue, Atlético-MG/Galo in black and white stripes, and a smaller América-MG group in green.

Each call triggers organized chanting, jumping, pushing, and torcida style mosh pit movement throughout the stands. The entire section heaves like a packed soccer match, with people shoving, hurling water bottles and other objects, and fans climbing onto seats and railings.

Girls scream as guys surge forward, arms flying in every direction. With no separation between rival school groups, the atmosphere instantly descends into organized disorder. Classic Brazilian football chants such as “Gaaaaalo!” and “Cru-zei-ro!” ring out over laughter and shrieks.

The mix of teenage energy, deep rooted club rivalries, and a lack of crowd control turns the AI class into an unplanned mini derby. The poster criticizes the government for poor planning and the hosts for intentionally provoking the rivalries, as football culture crashes headfirst into a school event.
