EURO 2016’s ‘Iceland clap’ will feature in FIFA 17

Some people call it the Iceland clap, some people call it the Thunder clap, all we know is that it's going to be in FIFA 17.

As seen in the picture above, many of the Iceland fans started clapping in unison during their EURO 2016 campaign.

The clap caught the eye on the world stage during a successful run for Iceland, which included a shock 2-1 victory over Roy Hodgson's England in the round of 16.

Iceland then went on to the quarter-finals where they bowed out against an impressive France side, who handed them a 5-2 defeat at the Stade de France.

There has since been speculation that a number of English teams' fans might well adopt the iconic clap in the future, despite open letters from fans pleading clubs to not replicate it back home.

Either way, EA Sports FIFA announced the news today using their official Twitter account. Check it out:
