FIFA World Cup anthems and songs[1] are tunes and songs adopted officially by FIFA (or by Official Broadcasters and Partners selected by FIFA), to be used prior to the World Cup event and to accompany the championships during the event.[2] They are also used in advertising campaigns for the World Cup.

The chosen songs are usually multilingual and include English, the official language of the organising country, Spanish and other languages. The official versions also result in cover versions in many other languages performed by the original or by local artists.[3]
