With the kickoff of the FIFA World Cup 2026 taking shape, its official soundtrack is also coming together. The album accompanying the World Cup hosted by Canada, the United States and Mexico is now available, an international project bringing together 45 artists from all over the world across 18 tracks designed to celebrate one of the most followed sporting events on the planet.
The compilation reflects the global nature of the tournament, putting languages, cultures and different musical styles into dialogue with one another. Among the names involved are Shakira, LISA, Future, iShowSpeed, Tyla, Daddy Yankee, 21 Savage, French Montana, Natanael Cano, Jessie Reyez and Los Ángeles Azules, alongside leading producers such as Cirkut and Tainy.
The album spans pop, hip-hop, reggaeton, Afrobeats, K-pop, R&B and Latin music, aiming to represent the cultural variety that defines the tournament. The project sets out to translate into music the spirit of encounter and togetherness that has always accompanied the World Cup, bringing to life unprecedented collaborations between artists from very different scenes.
"The FIFA World Cup represents a celebration that unites people, cultures and identities from every corner of the world," said Wassim "SAL" Slaiby, founder of SALXCO, Universal Arabic Music and XO Records. "Just like football, music transcends borders, and we're proud to have created a soundtrack that captures its energy, spirit and ability to bring people together."
The musical identity of the project had already been previewed in recent months through a series of singles that have racked up nearly 200 million streams combined. These include "Illuminate" by Jessie Reyez and Elyanna, "Goals" by LISA, Anitta and Rema, "Game Time" by Future and Tyla, and "Three Nations", bringing together 21 Savage, Natanael Cano and French Montana.
With the 2026 World Cup now underway, the album positions itself as the tournament's official soundtrack, accompanying fans and enthusiasts on a musical journey that spans continents, traditions and different sounds.
