team chant
Collective rallying cry
A team chant is a rhythmic phrase or slogan shouted or sung in unison by members of a group—typically sports teams, cheerleaders, or fans—to build energy, intimidate opponents, or express collective identity.
Team chants range from simple call-and-response patterns to elaborate fight songs: The crowd broke into the team chant after the winning goal.
