Churlinov and Pogoń teammates celebrate with Nedeljko Bajić Baja’s 'Koktel ljubavi'

Pogoń Szczecin's dressing room has become as notable for its soundtrack as for its results this season — and one of the club's most prominent performers is North Macedonia's international forward Darko Churlinov. The team has been marking victories to an old Balkan pop hit that has turned into a locker-room staple.

The song in question is "Koktel ljubavi" by Nedeljko Bajić Baja, which teammates now routinely play after wins. Churlinov, who has established himself as a regular presence in Szczecin's attack, has been part of those celebrations while also remaining a member of the North Macedonia national team.

Club post highlights the ritual

Pogoń themselves shared the mood online: in a post on October 17, 2026 the club wrote, "LET'S GO! 🕺🕺🕺 #GKSPOG" — Pogoń Szczecin (@PogonSzczecin). The message accompanied footage that showed players dancing and singing along in the locker room after securing another positive result.

For Churlinov, the atmosphere at Pogoń has coincided with meaningful minutes on the pitch. His form and involvement help the club's push this season, and Macedonia's national team also benefits when its forwards travel to international duty in form and confidence.

Whatever the musical taste, the combination of on-field impact and off-field camaraderie has given supporters another storyline to follow while Pogoń aim to keep collecting good results.
