Viking Thunder Clap

The Viking Thunder Clap or Viking Clap is a football chant, consisting of a loud shout and a clap in unison, which is then repeated initially several seconds later and gradually speeding up over time. The chant has been performed by fans of a number of clubs, but came to prominence during the UEFA Euro 2016, when fans of Iceland national team introduced their 'viking clap' or 'volcano clap' with a 'huh' chant.

During the 2018 FIFA World Cup when Iceland were one of the participating teams, the clap once again drew attention.^[1] The Viking Thunder Clap has been adopted by fans of many countries worldwide.^[2]
