FIFA has released the official anthem for the 2026 World Cup, a music video titled “DNA” featuring four global artists [3].
The song aims to unite fans worldwide through music as the tournament prepares for its global audience. By blending diverse musical styles, the anthem reflects the international scale of the competition.
The track features a collaboration between tenor Andrea Bocelli, DJ David Guetta, EJAE, and rapper Megan Thee Stallion [1]. This combination of classical, electronic, and hip-hop elements serves as the sonic identity for the event. The anthem was released June 10, 2026 [4], just one day before the tournament's official start.
The World Cup kicked off June 11, 2026 [5]. The music video was premiered on FIFA’s official YouTube channel to coincide with the festivities. According to the official release, the track is currently available on all streaming platforms [6].
FIFA organizers designed the song to act as a catalyst for fan engagement across different continents. The use of the title “DNA” suggests a theme of shared human connection and heritage, mirroring the athletic competition's goal of bringing nations together. The production marks one of the most eclectic artist lineups for a FIFA tournament anthem to date.
“The song aims to unite fans worldwide through music.”
The selection of a diverse quartet—ranging from an opera legend to a contemporary rap star—indicates FIFA's strategy to maximize demographic reach. By diversifying the sound of the official anthem, the organization is attempting to appeal to both traditional sports audiences and younger, streaming-centric listeners globally.
