American streaming sensation IShowSpeed has set the internet ablaze after releasing his self-proclaimed World Cup anthem, and football’s global governing body appears to be taking notice.
The high-octane music video for “World Cup (Champions),” released by the popular content creator born Darren Watkins Jr., stormed onto YouTube, amassing over 3.3 million views and hundreds of thousands of likes within 24 hours of its debut.
The track pulses with infectious crowd chants from footballing nations across the globe, with a particular nod to Ghana — a country where IShowSpeed holds honorary citizenship — and features enormous flags and vibrant traditional dancers throughout the visual.
Riding the video’s instant viral momentum, the streamer publicly tagged FIFA on social media, boldly petitioning the organisation to adopt the track as the tournament’s official soundtrack.
The governing body’s verified account wasted little time in firing back a response that set fans buzzing. “We will be in touch,” FIFA wrote a cryptic but tantalising reply that has only fuelled speculation over whether the anthem bid could become a reality.
