Official WCh song – released tonight

Today is an important day – the official WCh 2011 song will be released during World Cup in Malmö Arena. Who the artist behind the song is, has been secret until tonight. During the break in the match between Sweden and Denmark the artist will introduce himself on the playing court. If you want to see it live, you should come to Malmö Arena!

We asked our friends on our Facebook page (facebook.com/handball2011) what kind of music they want to hear at the arenas during the WCh 2011.  We got many of reponses and ideas from all over the world. Many voted for music from ABBA, Queen and AC/DC. A group that  many people seem to like is U2, and Bono sure has a great voice for the big arenas. Some different requests are Black Eyed Peas, Gorillaz, David Guetta and so on.. And of course songs like "Sweet Caroline" was requsted"...
