Author Arwa Haider once wrote: "Songs about football have extraordinary power", and the World Cup songs have proven that.

Un'estate Italiana (Italy Summer) (1990)

Italy Summer must be a familiar name to football fans in Vietnam and around the world.

While "The Cup of Life", "Waka Waka" and most of the official songs of the World Cup are all vibrant, "Summer in Italy" contains a romantic, soaring sound.

Since its release, the song has become the best-selling single in Italy in 1990. On June 8, 1990, Edoardo one-time and Gianna Nannini sang this song in front of 75,000 spectators at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (Milan) with 1 billion TV followers.

The Cup of Life (World Cup 1998)

In 1998, Ricky Martin received an invitation from FIFA to order an official song for the upcoming World Cup held in France. As soon as the song was released, all music charts were "swept".

Ricky has become a global singer, selling 15 million copies and making the whole world cheer "Go, go, go, Ale, Ale, Ale". On July 2, 1998, before the France-Brazil final, 1.4 billion people from 178 countries watchedingeringeringer Martin perform this song at Stade de France.

The next day, the press called it the proudest moment of the Latin world, the whole world is crazy about Latin. In addition, "The Cup of Life" is also associated with memories of a World Cup that increased the number of teams participating in the group stage from 24 to 32.

Waka Waka 2010

The choice of song performed by a Colombian singer for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa has sparked a wave of protests. However, when criticism subsided, "Waka Waka" became a hit song worldwide when it topped the music charts in nearly 40 countries.

The music encourages each person to pursue their own goals and fight like soldiers. Billboard ranked "Waka Waka" in the list of 50 best Latin songs of the 2010s.

Wavin' Flag (World Cup 2010)

" Wavin' Flag" was chosen as Coca-Cola's promotional song for the 2010 World Cup. The song is so famous that it has been renewed and covered for many years.

The song is featured on Somani and K'naan's hit single and has lyrics about the fight for freedom.

In early 2010, K'naan and 50 Canadian artists recorded another version of the song to raise funds to support victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

In particular, K'Naan quietly went to Vietnam to perform the scene of wearing conical hats and playing soccer with the children. In the MV, Vietnamese audiences discovered a car with license plate number 79 (Nha Trang).
