Best European & World Cup Soccer Songs

The Top Ten
1 La Copa de la Vida (World Cup 1998) - Ricky Martin

The best Soccer world cup ever. Ricky Martins Cup of life was immensely popular and the entire spirit of the event was apread across the world. Ricky was in his peak at the time of this song and also the video was simply the best!

Are you Kidding me with Nelly's Bango on her knees song. plZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Ricky did it right! With power and passion, just like the game and it's fans.

It's the best song for French World Cup with so much hype and popularity! I think that this one would've been very popular whenever it came out and, really, I wish it would be featuring in the future FIFA WCs in case not to be forgotten just 'cause it was such a great one.

It has touched INDIAN audience too. Ricky Martin can be claimed for Latin Explosion into America but also POP SONGS Explosion into India.

2 Waka Waka (World Cup 2010) - Shakira

You can actually feel it, I think she did a marvelous job. When I heard it I fell in love with it and from the start of the world cup you could feel the emotion of the people that were there cheering for their country.

The song is very motivated and you can feel the of being apart of it. Shakira has done very nice and popular music. Shakira prefer use the white skin and his origanilly hair because it makes boys like this song

"This time for Africa"... A superb song about Africa, the host continent of this event

Love the song! Great inspiration not only for the championship but for everybody who is struggling with dayly problems. My favorite from all~

3 K'naan (World Cup 2010) - Waving Flag

My 5 year old, soccer star, sings this song consistantly. It has inspired him. I think that any song that can capture the imagination of so many different people from so many different backgrounds and can send such a positive message should be number 1 and that is why I have voted for this song. My son also loves "Some Nights" another good one.

This song is amazing. I personnally loved the original which was about the troubles in his home country, Somalia but the World Cup version is great too. And he basically telling us to unite! This guy is a poet. And no doubt this song was popular all over the world so, it should take the number 1 spot. K'naan deserves it.

I WONDER WHY THIS SONG can't REACH TO THE TOP. YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS SONG WAS MOST DOWNLOADED THAT YEAR AND SEARCHED IN Google TOO. BUT GOD KNOW WHY PUBLIC HAVE VOTED OTHERS. THIS SONG WAS SO PRAISED THAT MORE THAN 10 COUNTRIES HAD MADE A SONG FOR THEM BASED ON THIS SONG. ANYTIME OF MY LIFE, I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SONG.

Frankly, I reckon this song should be at least top five. It is most certainly better than Ricky Martin and Enrique. In fact, the only thing that should be above this is Vangelis.

4 Forca (Euro 2004) - Nelly Furtado

I Think this is the most beautiful song of a European Championship, it talks about the spirit of the force to a team that plays the best and the most beautiful football

I love it that both this singer and K'Naan are from beautiful British Columbia, Canada! Both are great songs, but this one takes the cake I think.

I really loved this song, I am portuguese and I always had tingles and chills listening to this song during the euro, it was truly amazing!

I think this song is simply beautiful, haunting, and has an incredibly amazing message.

5 Who Do You Think You are Kidding Jurgen Klinsmann? (World Cup 2006) - Tone Def Allstars
6 Three Lions (Euro 1996) - Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds

Why is this so low? - Unnamed Google User Remade

7 Campione (Euro 2000) - E-Type

Not as good as La Copa De La Vida but definitely better than Waka Waka!

The most dynamic and fitting song for a big tournament

The 2nd best Football song best for stadium chanting.

It's phenomenal, specially the chorus

8 Un'estate italiana (World Cup 1990) - Gianna Nannini & Edoardo Bennato

No way this is not the number one of all time. Even FIFA recognized it as the best ever. By the way before any comment is made. I am american, and even I know better. Un'estate Itliana will alwaysbe the best world cup song ever.

it captures the essance of not only italy, but the feeling around the world

The best song of world cup ever. Emotive like anyone.

Best best best... The Italian version is amazing!

9 We're On the Ball (World Cup 2002) - Ant & Dec
10 World In Motion (World Cup 1990) - New Order

Nothing else even close to this for cool pop

Such a beautifully made song. I love it!

The Contenders
11 The Time of Our Lives (World Cup 2006) - Ill Divo With Toni Braxton

The best World Cup song ever and probably the last...
I sometimes cry when listening to this song. Although I speak English, I am a huge fan of France. This song reminds me of that loss against Italy in the final of World Cup 2006. But that is football. I still love this song.
Go France, you guys can win the World Cup again.

It's a song that makes people want to listen again and again

a great song about finding the glory

12 Vindaloo (World Cup 1998) - Fat Les
13 Football's Coming Home (World Cup 2014) - The Referees
14 Dario G - Carnaval De Paris (World Cup 1998)

Music that combine together different sounds of the world

Best of all time--in my opinion

15 Endless Summer (Euro 2012) - Oceana

Yeah, it was an endless summer during the Euro

Best song in the modern era

Perfect for my project

17 We are the Champions (Ding-A-Dang Dong) (World Cup 2006) - The Crazy Frog
18 Anthem (World Cup 2002) - Vangelis

One of the greatest music composers Vangelis with there beautiful song Anthem

Anthem 2002 is number one! Who the hell made this list?

19 We're In This Together (Euro 1996) - Simply Red
20 This One's for You (Euro 2016) - David Guetta

Zara Larsson is killing it! Sick vocals!

For me this is the best song for Euros

It's a good music

21 We Are One (Ole Ola) (World Cup 2014) - Pitbull

Best song for any world cup.
