The second single released from the official soundtrack was Ozuna and Gims’ “Arhbo,” which made its debut over the summer. “As part of FIFA’s revamped music strategy, the multi-song soundtrack will bring passionate fans closer to the spirit of the FIFA World Cup like never before.” “By bringing together voices from the Americas, Africa and the Middle East, this song symbolizes how music – and football – can unite the world,” said FIFA chief commercial officer Kay Madati. The uplifting track, featuring Trinidad Cardona, Davido and Aisha, fuses R&B and reggae influences. In April, FIFA released the first single, titled “Hayya Hayya (Better Together),” from the official soundtrack. “Arhbo” is a local slang word for “welcome” in Qatar and comes from the Arabic word “Marhaba.” For the first time, the tournament’s soundtrack will feature a multi-song collection, with international artists “showcasing diverse musical genres that span the world, setting the tone for a truly global celebration,” according to FIFA.īelow, find an updating list of the 2022 World Cup-themed songs that have been released.

Four months later, the football federation released the second song from the soundtrack titled “Arhbo,” with Latin star Ozuna and French Congolese rapper Gims. So far, a number of songs tied to this year’s World Cup have been released, with a few being part of the official FIFA soundtrack and others that aren’t but are still worthy of a mention. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated July 3, 2010, while Martin’s euphoric “Cup of Life” peaked at No. Songs such as Ricky Martin‘s “Cup of Life,” the official song of the 1998 event held in France, and Shakira‘s “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” for the 2010 World Cup in Africa have become anthems for soccer fans, and given the event’s popularity, they’ve also had a presence on the Billboard charts. As has been tradition for many years now, a select number of songs soundtrack the global soccer event, in which 32 teams - representing different countries - participate and, in the end, one is crowned the World Cup champion.
