The Vice City Mambas are a professional football team based in Vice City, Leonida. The team is set to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI and was first introduced in Grand Theft Auto Online. The Mambas serve as a parody of the real-world Miami Dolphins1, reflecting Vice City's role as a fictional counterpart to Miami, Florida.
The team's branding is a direct parody of the Miami Dolphins. As seen in the 3D Universe, the logo feature a mamba snake wearing a football helmet, which closely resembles the Miami Dolphins logos used from 1966 to 2012 that depicted a dolphin in a helmet2. The Mambas also appear to adopt a similar aqua color scheme in their branding. In Grand Theft Auto Online, their branding is featured on the "Mambas 24" livery available for the Vectre vehicle.
The primary service offered by the Vice City Mambas is professional football entertainment through their games. The team also has a presence in the merchandise market, as evidenced in Grand Theft Auto Online where players can purchase a Master Penthouse decoration of a football signed by former Mambas player BJ Smith.
In the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI, the Vice City Mambas' home stadium is suggested to be Fleeca Field in the Rockridge district of Vice City. This is based on leaked gameplay footage showing banners advertising the team hanging outside the stadium.
In the 3D Universe, the team's home was Hyman Memorial Stadium in Downtown Vice City. The team's branding also appeared on posters inside locations such as The Welcome Pump in Dillimore and The Greasy Chopper in Vice City, as seen in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Based on available information, the Vice City Mambas' role in Grand Theft Auto VI is primarily for world-building, establishing a local sports culture within Vice City. Banners and branding for the team at Fleeca Field help to create an authentic and lived-in environment. Any direct involvement in missions or story events is unconfirmed.
The Vice City Mambas made their first appearance in the HD Universe through Grand Theft Auto Online.
They were initially referenced in The Diamond Casino & Resort update, where players could purchase a football signed by former Mambas player BJ Smith as a decoration for the Master Penthouse.
The team received its first visual representation with the Los Santos Tuners update, which introduced a sponsored "Mambas 24" livery for the Vectre. This livery is available exclusively in the Expanded & Enhanced edition of the game.

Rockstar has reportedly turned its studios into an information black hole, feeding developers fake info to trap leakers. It's working so well that the biggest insiders are publicly tapping out. Will this "Iron Curtain" successfully hold back the floodgates until the Summer marketing blitz, or will someone risk their career to leak the goods?
