Korpiklaani has just released a special new single for FC Lahti. In case you don’t know, FC Lahti play in Veikkausliiga, the highest soccer league in Finland, and they are celebrating their 20th Anniversary this year. Being the huge fans that they are, Korpiklaani agreed to write a song in support of the team. Here’s what Jonne Järvelä said on the experience: “When I was asked if Korpiklaani would want to support the local football team playing at the top level in Finland, my answer was definitely yes. My first idea on how to take this forward was the thing that is important to us as a band, to write a song, a new official anthem for FC Lahti, and here it is now. Lyrics are not just about football, but also about love for your home town without forgetting it’s history. I wish the fans of FC Lahti and everyone else too will like the song.”
Tomi Honkanen, the Managing director of FC-Lahti added: “FC Lahti and Korpiklaani are two strong brands that generate strong emotions in Lahti and internationally. At FC Lahti we highly value that Korpiklaani wears our colours and brings our great FC Lahti to the world. Lahti rocks!”
