Fans packed into Chapecoense's Arena Conda on Saturday to say goodbye to the 19 players and club officials killed in Tuesday's air crash in Colombia.
The Brazilian club lost the majority of their squad and multiple members of staff in the crash just outside Medellin on Tuesday that claimed the lives of 71 of the 77 people on board, including a number of football journalists.
Chapecoense, a club that had risen through the Brazilian league system over the last four years, had been heading to the Colombia city for the first-leg of the Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico Nacional on Wednesday.
Instead, they now face rebuilding the squad from almost scratch, with the only three playing survivors - Alan Ruscher, Helio Hermito Zampier Neto and Jakson Fullman - all having had to undergo serious surgery since Tuesday.
Coffins arrived in Chapeco on Friday and were driven from the airport to the Arena Conda on Saturday morning as an estimated half of the city's 210,000 population either lined the streets in pouring rain, congregated outside the stadium or gained a vantage point for the funeral from the stands.
Ivan Tozzo, the acting president of the club who did not make the trip to Medellin, told fans the club would continue and reminded them that "it was here on this field where this club fought the good fight."
"This team taught us that everything is possible," he added before closing with a simple message. "We are all Chapecoense."
FIFA president Gianni Infantino made the trip to Brazil to be part of the memorial, as did Brazil's president Michel Terner.
Chapeco's Mayor Luciano Buligon, like several speakers, praised the aid Colombia provided along with Aletico Nactional, who held a vigil in Medellin on Thursday and asked for South America's footballing leaders CONMEBOL to award Chapecoense with the Copa Sudamericana trophy.
"Atletico Nacional summed it all up on its website," Buligon said. "Atletico said Chapecoense came to Medellin with a dream, and it leaves a legend. Legends don't die."
Brazilian football is in the middle of seven days of mourning, with the final set of Serie A fixtures now scheduled for the weekend of December 11 and 12.
Chapecoense were due to play Atletico Mineiro but their opponents have agreed to forfeit the points after it had first been suggested Chape played the match with their youth team.
Away from Brazil, Barcelona and Real Madrid paid tribute to Chapecoense before Saturday's El Clasico at the Nou Camp while games in the Premier League and EFL had minute's silences and saw players wear black armbands.
