Documented history

Orgullo Cazurro: the animation group of the Cultural's Fondo Sur

Orgullo Cazurro brings together supporters of Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa and leads the animation of the Fondo Sur of the Reino de León, according to the León press. No source found dates its foundation: in December 2025, its spokesperson spoke of eighteen years of existence. The group organises animation in León and on away trips, with pre-match gatherings, marches and tifos.

The name

«Cazurro», a term that has been used pejoratively, has become in León a synonym for Leonese that can be worn with pride, according to a Leonoticias report of February 2026, which cited the Cultural supporters' group as an example of that use.

2017–2020: the Fondo Sur, LaLiga and Legio 1923

In September 2017, LaLiga pointed to the fans of the south end, identified as Orgullo Cazurro, as responsible for the verbal clashes with Valladolid's supporters, according to Leonoticias; the police, LaLiga and the club then applied a protocol on the group. In February 2020, the Cultural accused members of Orgullo Cazurro in a statement of boycotting the debut of the new animation stand Legio 1923, by covering its banner with the group's own.

February 2023: Pontevedra and the precautionary separation

In February 2023, ultras of the Cultural and Pontevedra fought before the match, and fascist salutes by Leonese fans were seen at Pasarón. The Cultural precautionarily set Orgullo Cazurro apart, linking it to those events, and did not allow its symbols in the Reino de León during the following matches. The Anti-Violence Commission fined three participants in the fight and a fan who made Nazi salutes 4,000 euros and a year's ban from stadiums; these are individual sanctions, not sanctions on the group.

July 2023: return to the stadium

In July 2023, the Cultural announced a meeting with representatives of Orgullo Cazurro, who committed to respecting the values of culturalismo and to cheering the team; the meeting ended the separation. The group then published that its «only politics» was to cheer the club, and La Nueva Crónica described it as the group that leads the animation of the Reino de León.

2025: derby, animation strikes and the speaker's expulsion

In February 2025, the group announced an animation strike because it had not been allowed to bring in material since October, and called it off days later when it recovered megaphones, drums and flags. For the Ponferrada derby in May it called a pre-match gathering, a tifo, a march towards El Toralín and a welcome with Leonese flags, and that year it was among the signatories of the FASFE manifesto. On 29 November, the security coordinator expelled its speaker for leading the animation from the fence, and the group left the stand; the Federación de Peñas defended it as «one more peña» of the club, and in December the group did not enter the matches against Andorra and Huesca.

2026: animation platform, tifo and complaints

In February 2026, the Cultural asked the city council for an animation platform attached to the Fondo Sur. In April, against Valladolid, the group displayed outside the stadium a tifo with the Castilian counts paying homage to the king of León, and the report of that match placed several reported chants in its area. In May, Infoleón reported a fight between Eibar and Cultural ultras near the group's usual meeting point, without identifying the participants.
