Cheerers are people who cheer—those who shout encouragement, express approval, or offer support.

The word appears most often in contexts where a crowd gathers to encourage performers or athletes: The cheerers in the stands grew louder as the team advanced.

It can also mean those who bring cheer or comfort to others.
