    The present work entitled: Of drums, flags and chants: Semiotic analysis of the barras bravas of Ecuadorian soccer, is the result of a research carried out with the purpose of detecting and analyzing from the semiotic the elements immersed in a barra brava of national soccer. The study focused specifically on how these dynamics are developed in Ambato, therefore the selected barra was: "Ultras 94" of Club Social y Deportivo Macará. In order to carry out the previously mentioned analysis, qualitative research methods and techniques were used, so that the information obtained for the discussion is first-hand. In order not to separate them from the context in which the facts take place - in this case the Bellavista Indoamerica University Stadium in the city of Ambato - non-participant ethnographic observation was the methodological basis. A series of interviews with different members of the club's supporters' club helped to gather several versions that in themselves give a voice to the subjects, while at the same time providing an overview of the behavior of the Ambato fan. In addition to this, a photographic tour becomes a support during this methodological path, adding representation to the direct actors of this phenomenon. This debate will also be subject to a discourse analysis with a semiotic base that allows deciphering different categories immersed in the chants of the barra, all this in order to find underlying meanings and intentions in the stands of the sports scenarios. These elements can be taken into account as processes of mediation, selection, endowment of meaning, response or creativity. Specifically, this analysis seeks to: identify within the barras bravas semiotic elements that enclose a relationship between soccer discourse and society; understand the diverse expressions that revolve around the barras in a soccer match; and, discuss the most representative empirical findings to validate this analysis from the perspective of communication
