10. World in motion / New Order (Italy, 1990)

The song was originally released in 1990 in support of England at the FIFA World Cup in Italy and featured vocals from that year’s England football team and striker John Barnes’ catchy rap.

09. Gloryland / Daryl Hall and Sounds of Blackness (USA, 1994)

It became the anthem of the US World Cup in 1994. American singer Daryl Hall and the vocal ensemble Sounds of Blackness performed it at the opening ceremony of the World Cup. The song peaked at number 36 on the official singles chart in 1994.

07 Hips don’t lie / Shakira (Germany, 2006)

05. We are one (Ole Ola) / Pitbull featuring Jenner Lopez and Claudia Leitte (Brazil, 2014)

It is the official song of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, and although it received positive reviews from critics, the song initially received a backlash from experts due to its lack of Brazilian sensibilities.
