'Dhak Dhak Goal' anthem gives football fanatics goosebumps

Peek Freans high energy Dhak Dhak Goal anthem highlights Pakistani fans’ ever-lasting love affair with football

With the FIFA World Cup in full swing, football mania is now at a fever pitch with fans around the world tuning to the biggest sports event of the year. Pakistani fans continue to express their love and passion for the game with every gasp and cheer that escapes their lips, every hour that they spend glued to the television and every fight that they pick up to root for their favourite player.

Though generally viewed as a cricket-loving nation, Pakistan boasts a sizeable majority of football fanatics, each with their own list of favourite leagues or teams. And while on most streets or grounds cricket reigns supreme, on closer inspection, you will still be able to find at least one or two places where youngsters come together for a game of football.



In such an atmosphere, it is no wonder that tournaments like the FIFA World Cup are so popular. And with such levels of enthusiasm, it only makes sense for brands to join in on the fun and stir things up a little. One of the ways in which this is done is through music. An anthem on the joys of playing football can really get your adrenaline levels pumping and can even take the shape of an anthem that fully displays the fervency and the passion that people have for the game.

One brand joined the bandwagon by releasing its own rendition of an international anthem that interlaces a colorful portrayal of Pakistani values and culture with an upbeat bhangra tune. However, when it comes to capturing the true spirit of football in Pakistan, no other brand has truly been able to pull it off like Chocolicious. This young brand took on the Goliaths head on by coming up with an anthem that has become bigger than the tournament itself in Pakistan.
