Tw0-pole
A supporters' "two-pole" (or two-stick) in soccer is a type of tifo—a visual display created by fans—consisting of a banner or flag stretched between two vertical poles. These are typically held up by one or two people in the supporters' section to display slogans, club emblems, pop-culture references, or caricatures of players, adding a,Do-It-Yourself (DIY) visual flair to the stadium.
The style is part of "ultras" culture, with roots dating back to the late 1960s, influenced by English fans and popular in European stadiums before spreading worldwide.
