Special inspiration
Recently, the song "AFF Cup Emotions" - a song released in 2018 by singer and musician Cap Anh Tai was sung by many fans when the Vietnam National Football Team won the ASEAN Cup 2024. The joy and pride of many years ago when he started writing songs to accompany many victories of Vietnamese sports once again filled his heart.
Now, looking back on his artistic career, Cap Anh Tai emphasized to us that sports are a special source of inspiration that brings him closer to the public as well as helps his music career flourish.
Participating in many cultural and artistic activities for schools, localities and Dong Ha City since he was still in school, his singing activities later became more professional.
However, it was not until 2011, after composing lyrics on the available music for the video “Vietnam Football Panorama”, that the name Cap Anh Tai became known to the online community and many people. He shared: “I love sports, especially football.
Thanks to sports, I am who I am today. Firstly, because of sports, I had the opportunity to change my appearance and improve my health in a more positive way. Especially, thanks to my love of sports, I have the inspiration to compose songs that are warmly welcomed by the audience. From there, it became a springboard for me to continue firmly on the path of pursuing my passion for music."

Cap Anh Tai recounted that since the early 2000s, when Vietnamese football was deeply loved by fans but there were not many accompanying songs, he had cherished the idea of writing and singing cheering songs. By 2012, when he entered the professional singing career, he began to gradually realize his ideas and unexpectedly received support from the domestic audience, media, and especially the football players.
The song “U19 Flame” was composed by Cap Anh Tai as a gift for the Vietnam U19 team at the 2014 Southeast Asian U19 Football Tournament. After its release, the song became “hot”, appearing on many social networking sites, forums, and TV channels such as: VTV1, VTV3, VTV6, VTC... and was used by the organizers throughout the tournament.
His cheerleading music has cheerful melodies, simple lyrics, easy to listen to, easy to remember, so sports fans of all ages can hum, join in and sing out loud. From his songs, football and music enthusiasts have new spiritual food, cheering for the Vietnamese football team to compete sublimely and win many victories. Also from the endless inspiration from the love of football, singer and musician Cap Anh Tai has more and more musical products associated with the footsteps of football players...
Make your mark with many sports songs
After the 2014 Southeast Asian U19 Football Championship, the young players at that time such as Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong, Hong Duy... all knew the song "U19 Flame" by heart and always wanted to have the companionship and participation of singer and musician Cap Anh Tai in many activities of the team. That was also the joy and motivation for him to continue to produce more quality songs about sports. "My songs written to cheer for football are often sung by many athletes and players before entering the match.
This is the happiness of an artist, because there is nothing happier than having your product received and enthusiastically supported by the audience. Although most of the cheering songs are often topical, and the audience is less interested after the tournament, I am still very happy because I have contributed to "fueling" Vietnamese football", Anh Tai said.

Since 2014, Cap Anh Tai has composed and performed many songs about sports and football. Notable songs include U19 Flame, I Believe in U19, U19 Cyclone dedicated to the Vietnam U19 team; songs Vietnam Number One, We Are Vietnam, Thriving with U23... to cheer on the Vietnamese sports delegation attending the SEA Games and the Vietnam U23 team.
In addition to songs to cheer for Vietnamese football, he also composed songs about the world's top football tournaments such as the World Cup, Euro...; and participated in many sports and football tournaments in provinces and cities across the country. His performances always excited athletes and audiences because the vibrant melodies of the songs with meaningful lyrics heated up the atmosphere of the tournament.
The mark that Cap Anh Tai left behind was that he often composed and sang songs about tournaments, many of which were used by the organizers as the official songs of the tournament. Notable ones include the song "Vietnam Golden Ball" - a song dedicated to the Vietnam Golden Ball Award; Press Cup - the official song of the National Press Agency Football Tournament; Spring of Vietnamese Youth Student Football - the main song of the Vietnamese Youth Student Football Tournament.
Talking about the idea for the lyrics of the above compositions, Anh Tai said: “I think sports, especially football, are not just competitions but also help viewers learn many lessons about the power of solidarity. The will to rise and the determination to win of the players in each match are also good traditions of the Vietnamese people. Therefore, I often put images like “Phu Dong” or “descendants of Lac Hong” into the songs, trying to choose lyrics that are easy to understand but also have deep spiritual meaning.”
Up to now, Cap Anh Tai cannot remember how many songs he has composed about sports, cheering for football or composing for tournaments. However, one thing is certain, this talented musician from Quang Tri still keeps the "flame" of enthusiasm of a fan, a lover of Vietnamese sports and will continue to express it in the most special way through each note of music.
Cap Anh Tai said: “I hope Quang Tri will have more large-scale, professional sports and football tournaments so that young talents can be discovered, nurtured and developed; at the same time, I hope I will have the opportunity to compose songs to cheer for Quang Tri sports and football.”
