Football chants

The largest choirs in our country happen during football matches when tens of thousands of fans sing together to support their team. The songs and chants are not written down, or taught, but picked up through oral tradition and rote learning. There are theme tunes associated with World Cups and football leagues, and each football club has their own unique song and chants. There are many clips on YouTube of fans singing at football matches.
