Vancouver, August 2, 2022 – November 21 will be the start of the Fifa World Cup and artists have been busy creating music that will inspire the audience, cheer on the team and brings fans from around the world together in Qatar. Qatar is centrally located on the globe, close to Europe, Africa and Asia. The 2022 FIFA World Cup will not only be the first tournament to be held in the Arab region, but it will be the most compact, allowing fans to attend more than one game a day.

FIFA World Cup anthems and songs 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. They are also used in advertising campaigns for the World Cup. The FIFA World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior men’s national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport’s global governing body. The current champion is France, which won its second title at the 2018 tournament in Russia.

The chosen songs are usually multilingual and include English, the official language of the organising country, Spanish and other languages. The official versions also result in cover versions in many other languages performed by the original or by local artists. These three songs are the first three that I found, but there are more to come. Stay tuned…

According to face.com: “Twenty-three years since EA Sports put Blur’s Song 2 on FIFA: Road to World Cup 1998, the background music that accompanies the in-game menus has slowly blossomed into one of the title’s key selling points. As tweaks to the gameplay become more minute and in-game features like Ultimate Team exhaust their capacity for reinvention, the annual playlist refresh has become a much-anticipated event in itself.”

The first song is: Hayya Hayya (Better Together), which is the first single of the multi-song FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Official Soundtrack by artists Trinidad Cardona, Davido and Aisha. According to “insidethegames.biz” “FIFA has released the track, called “Hayya Hayya (Better Together)“, prior to the tournament, scheduled to run from November 21 to December 18, 2022 in Qatar. The song, which draws on R&B and reggae influences, was first performed at the World Cup draw held in Doha on Friday April 1 and premiered on FIFA’s YouTube channel.”

I Promise, I promise, I promise you now
Everything, everything gonna work out
Every tomorrow, no matter what goes down
I promise, I promise, I promise you now
Gonna be, gonna be sticking around
Every tomorrow, no matter what goes down

The second song is: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 – Theme Song – Reach the Glory – The Filho | HD_Official.

YOU WERE MADE TO REACH THE GLORY
PLAY THE BALL, DANCING AND JUMPING
NOW IT’S TIME TO REACH THE STARS
IT’S YOUR MOMENT, FEEL, BELIEVE IT

There is also a Portuguese song: MC Kekel – MLK É LUZ, AL RIHLA (KondZilla) – PRODUÇÃO MUSICAL: Dj Luck Muzic DIREÇÃO: Kaique Alves

Três listras no peito e a Adidas na chuteira
Trilhando a jornada de todo sonhador
Vestindo a camisa com as cores da bandeira
E mostrando pro mundo que eles tem o seu valor

Translated loosely using Google Translate:

“Three stripes on the chest and Adidas on the boot
Walking every dreamer’s journey
Wearing the shirt with the colors of the flag
And showing the world that they have their worth”
