sports anthem

Team rally music

A sports anthem is a rousing song adopted by a team, league, or fanbase as an unofficial theme.

These songs unite crowds and build energy at games: The stadium erupted when the sports anthem started playing.

Some become permanently associated with particular moments—Queen's "We Are the Champions" after title wins, or "Seven Nation Army" chanted in stadiums worldwide.
