1962 Chile: вЂњEl Rock del MundialвЂќ вЂ“ Los RamblersД®lvis goes to the World Cup!!! This is excellent.EA's 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Music Soundtrack Sets The Stage For Football Glory EA Play FIFA 22 Madden NFL 22 Battlefieldв„ў 2042 Apex Legends The Sims 4 It Takes Two Really? Surely there was something better than thisвЂ¦ДЎ4. 1966 England: вЂњWorld Cup Willie (Where in this World are We Going)вЂќ вЂ“ Lonnie Donegan 1970 Mexico: вЂњFГєtbol MГ©xico 70вЂќ вЂ“ Los Hermanos ZavalaДЎ3. 1974 Germany: вЂњFutbolвЂќ вЂ“ Maryla RodowiczДЄnother one that doesnвЂ™t sound quite right. The fact it was written by Ennio Morricone is good, but it doesnвЂ™t really sound like a World Cup songвЂ¦ДЎ1. 1978 Argentina: вЂњAnthemвЂќ вЂ“ Buenos Aires Municipal Symphony Not quite what I expected, but not too bad.ДЎ0. 1982 Spain: вЂњMundial вЂ™82вЂќ вЂ“ PlГЎcido Domingo Now weвЂ™re talking! Great funk bass, catchy lyrics вЂ“ this is much better.Д©. The big synth opening is a good start but not sure they couldnвЂ™t have done better. 1990 Italy: вЂњUnвЂ™estate italiana (To Be Number One)вЂќ вЂ“ Edoardo Bennato and Gianna Nannini This one sounds very, very American and isnвЂ™t too bad вЂ“ but I think upping the tempo might have helped.Д§. 1994 USA: вЂњGlorylandвЂќ вЂ“ Daryl Hall and Sounds of Blackness Pick of the bunch I reckon вЂ“ this sounds like football.Д¦. 1998 France: вЂњLa Copa de la Vida (The Cup of Life)вЂќ вЂ“ Ricky Martin Skip forward 90 seconds to the song вЂ“ better to watch than listen to, and not very вЂњfootballвЂќ to me.ДҐ. 2002 South Korea/Japan: вЂњBoomвЂќ вЂ“ Anastacia Okay, but pretty derivative of Ricky MartinвЂ™s work вЂ“ and he would probably have done a better job with it.Д¤. 2006 Germany: вЂњZeit Dass Sich Was Dreht (Celebrate The Day)вЂќ вЂ“ Herbert 2010 South Africa: вЂњWaka WakaвЂќ вЂ“ Shakira featuring Freshlyground Not bad, but I was expecting a bit more from BrazilвЂ¦Дў. 2014 Brazil: вЂњWe Are One (Ole Ola)вЂќ вЂ“ Pitbull featuring Jennifer Lopez & Claudia Leitte Generally official World Cup songs are recorded in a few languages вЂ“ English, the host nation language, and any other deemed to be good marketing! What do you think of this lot and is there a favourite for you?ДЎ. If nothing else they provide the artist who performs them an amazing global audience to promote their wares. Now as you can imagine вЂ“ and no doubt remember вЂ“ some of them are pretty dodgy, but there have been a few good ones.

Since 1962, FIFA has had official songs accompany each of the World Cups.
