"Seven Nation Army" has served as an official anthem at various sporting events; "NPR"'s Rick Karr remarked that the song is "arguably ... the world's most popular sports anthem". It has been played at each UEFA European Football Championship since 2008, and it was played prior to the start of each game during the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Karr estimated that the song has reached "hundreds of millions of television viewers around the world" as a result of its usage in the latter tournament. Multiple sports teams and personalities have also used "Seven Nation Army" as their official song or walkout music, including boxers Gennady Golovkin and Anthony Joshua, football teams the Baltimore Ravens and the Detroit Lions, ice hockey team the New Jersey Devils, baseball team the Baltimore Orioles, and darts world champion Michael van Gerwen. The song is also played at the home games of La Liga team Atletico Madrid and A-League team Melbourne Victory following a team goal. WWE fans chant the riff with the words “Oh, bask in his glory” in support of NXT star Keith Lee.
