Japan – “Kira”
Artist ADO unveils the official song for Japan’s national team for the 2026 World Cup. The track, titled “Kira,” was released with its video on April 22, 2026. The song was created as the official anthem for the 2026 jersey of the Japan Football Association, as part of the campaign run with Adidas to accompany the national team toward the World Cup. It depicts the collective drive around the Japanese squad.
Mexico – “Un Solo Corazón”
“Un Solo Corazón” is the official song launched by the Mexican Football Federation in collaboration with Grupo Frontera and Amazon Music. In a blend of norteño and cumbia, the group, one of the phenomena of the new Mexican scene, encourages the “Tricolor,” the national team. The lyrics also note that Grupo Frontera will be performing at Bataclan on June 25, proof of the international reach of their success.
Portugal – “E Tudo ou Nada”
“E Tudo ou Nada” is the new official track in support of the National Team for the 2026 World Cup. It brings together five legends of Portuguese rap: Sam The Kid, Sir Scratch, Gson, Bispo and Papillon. Created at the initiative of the Portuguese Football Federation, the song’s mission is to carry the team to the end of the tournament. It draws on a Portuguese proverb often used in changing rooms and football stadiums: “It’s all or nothing.” With a simple wordplay, tudo ou nada (all or nothing) becomes “tuga or nada,” meaning “Portugal or nothing.”
A planetary soundtrack to accompany the supporters
By bringing together Shakira, Burna Boy, Grupo Frontera, M Pokora, Ado, and even Portuguese rappers, the 2026 World Cup equips itself with a planetary soundtrack. These official anthems, supporter songs, and encouraging refrains prolong the emotion of matches and give a voice to supporters’ hopes. From stadium to stadium, country to country, these tracks pace the competition and offer fans another way to experience World Cup 2026, in music.
