The flurry of World Cup related posts, stories, and activations are coming thick and fast, making football more accessible than ever. Well, making the sport more ~~accessible~~ palatable for people who don’t actually really *like * football. The latest news from the sporting world is one which will delight anyone who tends to head to Wembley for a concert instead of a match: The World Cup has got an official soundtrack album.

You hear the word “football” and you immediately think “Stormzy”, right? No?Maybe you will now as the pop star is just one of the many big names attached to the project. With less than a week until the first game (Mexico vs South Africa), FIFA has confirmed a fuller roster of artists have been involved with the project.

They couldn’t not really use Shakira, after her iconic track Waka Waka (It’s Time For Africa) which was created for the World Cup in 2010, and has since graced zumba classes and school discos across the country. Her track with Burna Boy is called Dai Dai and is already streaming.
