The aim of this research paper is: first, to explore the relations between music and football, second, to discuss football as a cultural phenomenon which plays a crucial role in the process of social communication. The thesis of the article is based on the belief that sport games may be considered a cultural and artistic show, during which behavioral patterns, as increasingly intensified due to emotions, come to light. I am especially interested in the type of music used to cheer the players, the one used as a tool of a political manifesto or the one which plays a role of special sporting event anthem. In this paper I attempt to analyze different music elements in football, referring to, among others, the theories of John MacAloon, Richard Schechner, Jean Alter, Tomasz Sahaj and Jerzy Kosiewicz.
