推しチーム

• 読み: おしチーム
• ローマ字: oshi chiimu
• 漢字の分解: 推 (push/support) + し (nominalizer) — チーム from English 'team'
• 発音: /o.ɕi tɕiː.mɯ/

意味

Your favourite team that you passionately support — applying oshi culture to sports fandom.

推しチーム borrows the concept of 推し — originally used for favourite idols in fan culture — and applies it to sports team fandom. The word implies not just liking a team but actively supporting, celebrating, and emotionally investing in them in the way idol fans support their favourite performers. As oshi culture expanded beyond music in the 2010s, sports fans adopted the vocabulary to express the same depth of attachment.

例文

1. 推しチームが優勝したときは泣いてしまった。
2. 推しチームのユニフォームを全種類集めてる。
3. 推しチームが負け続けているけど応援をやめる気にはなれない。
