dc.description.abstractAfricans are said to be incurably religious and are in all things religious; this religiosity comes to the fore in the activities of the Nigerian Football Supporters’ Club since its establishment in 1959. Their activities include prayer sessions, spiritual consultations, sacrifice and the invocation of the Divine through the employment of Church songs during matches. This paper appraises the role of songs, reasons for their use, the sentiments often displayed about these songs in sports rituals. In summary, the paper establishes the nexus between religion and sports.
