Hi, do you mean soccer as in association football? If so can you be a bit more specific about what type of song you are after? Most major clubs have a song particularly associated with them (not normally folk songs as we would define them) but the Spinners did describe Anfield as the biggest folk club in the world.

another interesting caribbean tradition is the garifuna and here: garifuna network The Garifuna
people are Black Caribs descended from passengers who escaped
a slave ship which went aground, and the local native Carib
and Awarak people form the Island where the ship was wrecked.
Many re-settled central america and they have a style of music which blends
african, hispanic and caribbean influences, yet has its own distinctive
cultural significance.
