About this sound
The traditional Fortaleza jingle used by Verdinha FM, the Brazilian sports radio station, for Tricolor football coverage and match broadcasts.
This is the short radio jingle Verdinha FM uses to introduce Fortaleza coverage, a punchy station ident that immediately signals Tricolor football is coming up. Lasting only a few seconds, it packs the energy of a live sports broadcast into a single burst, with a bold, celebratory tone that fans associate with goals, matchdays and pre-game build-up. For supporters it works like a cue, sparking recognition and excitement before a single word of commentary begins, while for outsiders it still sounds unmistakably like Brazilian sports radio at full tilt.
