The Viking Clap is thunderous, bombastic and powerful

Iceland is a small country, but their fans rival those of the biggest nations in the world.

The Viking Clap is a unique way for the players and fans to connect at the end of matches by clapping their hands over their heads in sync with the beats of a drum. The resulting sound can crack the skies open and is terrifying to anyone who opposes the team. It is a celebration of Icelandic values and an acknowledgment of how far the team has come.

The Viking Clap is synonymous with the team and has been copied by teams in the National Football League, most notably the Minnesota Vikings. The Viking Clap is a sight to behold and everyone will be in for a treat when the supporters perform it in Russia.
