The Issue

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is a once-in-a-lifetime event, with millions of fans eagerly anticipating its celebration across North America. Every detail matters, especially the choice of the official World Cup song—a symbol that resonates through cultures, uniting fans from every corner of the globe. However, the current choice does not encapsulate the spirit, unity, and vibrancy that the World Cup embodies.

Music is more than just entertainment; it is a universal language that adds soul and life to any event. The World Cup song should evoke emotions, inspire people, and be remembered for years to come. It should be a melody that fans from diverse backgrounds can sing along to, celebrating the beautiful game and highlighting cultural diversity. Unfortunately, the current selection falls short in representing the passion and energy that fans associate with the World Cup.

We propose a selection process that engages fans globally, allowing them to have a voice in what will inevitably become the anthem of one of the world's largest sporting events. An open contest or voting system could be initiated, giving musicians worldwide the opportunity to submit their work. This approach not only democratizes the decision-making process but also brings new talent and innovation to the forefront.

Let's choose a song that reflects the unique spirit of the 2026 World Cup, a song that transcends languages and borders. A song that acts as a rallying cry for fans, players, and countries involved, embodying the excitement and cultural tapestry that makes the World Cup extraordinary.

Sign this petition to urge FIFA to reconsider the current World Cup song and adopt a process that truly reflects the global nature of this celebrated event. Together, we can ensure that the 2026 World Cup is remembered not just for its football, but for its music as well.
