That's usually called a "cheer". And you can also use "cheer" as a verb and say that the specators are cheering their team on to victory. Sometimes there are special songs that the crowd sings. In the US, cheerleaders often yell out special chants to fire up the crowd.

Well, I think they can be quite varied. For example, in American football, the fans rooting for a particular team might repeat the word "Defense" over and over again when the opposing team has control of the ball.
Sometimes fans repeat "We're number one!" or "Go!" over and over again.
