"Snart skiner Poseidon" is a song by Joel Alme released in 2009, as the official anthem of Swedish football club IFK Göteborg.
[4] Many different existing songs were proposed, from artists such as Maia Hirasawa, Nationalteatern and Troublemakers,[5] until "Snart skiner Poseidon" was written by Joel Alme and posted on YouTube in mid-March 2009.
[7] The song name was proposed on the internet forum of Supporterklubben Änglarna,[5] and the supporters' association and IFK Göteborg soon decided to accept "Snart skiner Poseidon" as the new anthem.
[15] Another journalist at Aftonbladet, music critic Markus Larsson, called it the by far best Allsvenskan anthem in 2012, writing that even people with no interest in sports would get chills from the song, and compared it to You'll Never Walk Alone.
[16][17] Musicologist Patrik Sandgren judged all Allsvenskan anthems in 2016, commenting that "Snart skiner Poseidon" is a somewhat awkward Håkan Hellström knock-off, while still rating it 4 out of 5, translating to a shared first place.
