Fans repurpose 'Rock Chalk' chant for Algeria at World Cup

sportsJun 17, 202617128

Supporters repurposed the University of Kansas "Rock Chalk" chant into "Rock Chalk Algeria" during Algeria's World Cup match against Argentina at KC Stadium in Kansas City. The Kansas marching band opened a session with the Algerian national anthem while KU alumni and local groups wore custom Algeria kits and led the hybrid chant on buses and in the stands. Variations such as "Rock Chalk Desert Fox" and staged team events carried the slogan into Lawrence college culture beyond the stadium. The mashup shows how a local college tradition became a portable rallying cry, blending Kansas identity with international World Cup fandom.

If you need to understand the way that sports bring people together, you just need to look at what has happened in Lawrence, Kansas. A college football town that has embrace the Algerian national team - and have been raying Rock Chalk Algeria since they landed. Just, great.

Listen I know this is sportswashing and we’ve got a lot of problems but watching international soccer fans having a blast in North America warms my heart. Germans at bounce shows in NOLA. Korean/Mexican drinking culture. Rock Chalk Algeria. Hell yeah.
