In American and Canadian
sports, a
fight song is a
song associated with a
team. In both
professional and
amateur sports, fight songs are a popular way for fans to cheer for their team. Although the term "fight song" is primarily used in America, the use of fight songs is commonplace around the world, but they may be referred to as
team anthems or
team songs in other countries, such as
Australia,
Mexico and
New Zealand. Fight songs differ from
stadium anthems, used for similar purposes, in that they are usually written specifically for the purposes of the team, whereas stadium anthems are not.
