Is the word seguidores the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "seguidores" is identical in meaning, grammar, and spelling in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open, and the "s" at the end of syllables is typically pronounced as a "s" (like the "s" in "sun"). In Continental Portuguese, the "s" at the end of syllables is often palatalized, sounding like "sh" (as in "shoe"), and the vowels tend to be more closed or reduced.
