The 2026 FIFA World Cup is making history as the first tournament to span three countries, and the music world is responding with energy that matches the moment. Shakira and Burna Boy’s official anthem‘Dai Dai’seamlessly blends reggaeton with Afrobeats, creating a celebration song that captures the global spirit of soccer’s biggest stage. But that’s just the beginning. FIFA released an 18-track official album, the most ambitious music project ever created for the tournament, featuring collaborations and original compositions designed to unite fans across continents and languages.
Beyond the official release, artists worldwide have contributed their own World Cup celebration songs, and Billboard’s comprehensive list includes 40 plus tracks spanning every genre imaginable. Ronaldinho, the legendary Brazilian soccer icon, launched‘Camisa 10’with reggaeton and música mexicana influences. The Rolling Stones got an EDM remix treatment. You’ve got J Balvin, LISA, Future, and countless regional artists all bringing their cultural pride and musical styles to the tournament. The diversity of this soundtrack mirrors the tournament itself, with performances and celebrations happening across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, with the final taking place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19.
What makes this moment special is how music and sports are creating something bigger than either could alone. These songs represent national pride, team support, and the universal language that both music and soccer speak. Whether you’re a hardcore soccer fan, a music enthusiast, or someone who just loves seeing artists collaborate, this World Cup soundtrack has something that’ll speak to you.
