ON-SONG: The musical team salute at Sheffield FC

SHEFFIELD FC are hoping they’ve played their part in a smash hit to coincide with Euro 24!

New song ‘Around the World’ has been released as part of a special collaboration between the arts charity Stand & Be Counted and the oldest club in the world.

Children in the charity’s Youth Theatre of Sanctuary devised the song concept, lyrics and recorded it with the help of musicians.

The group then filmed a tongue-in-cheek music video at Sheffield FC’s Home of Football stadium in Dronfield.

The track was released on Friday to coincide with the launch of Euro 2024 in Germany and is free to download.

Stand & Be Counted works with refugees, new migrants and asylum seekers – anyone, of any age, who is seeking sanctuary.

Musician Ed Waring helped the group to record their song. The track refers to superstar footballers Messi and Ronaldo, as well as the young people chasing their dreams and ‘all being welcome’ to join their team.

The video features the ground, kit and fans of the NPL East club, founded in 1857. Chairman Richard Tims said: “At Sheffield FC we know how football has the power to transcend barriers and unite people from around the world.

“We hope the whole of Sheffield gets behind this song to score the goal of it being number one for Euro 2024.”
