List of FIFA World Cup songs and anthems
List of anthems of all FIFA World Cups
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FIFA World Cup songs and anthems[1] are tunes and songs adopted officially by FIFA (or by official broadcasters and partners selected by FIFA), to be used prior to the World Cup event and to accompany the championships during the event.[2] They are used as theme music for TV broadcasts and also used in advertising campaigns for the World Cup.
The chosen songs are usually multilingual and include English, the official language of the organizing country, languages of certain FIFA Partners regions and/or other languages. The main versions also result in cover versions in many other languages performed by the original or by local artists.[3]
