Pakistani music is once again taking the football world by storm. The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) selected the viral Pakistani Coke Studio hit Blockbuster on the entry of French football star Kylian Mbappe into the football arena.
The Federation posted a reel titled ‘Mbappe’s ‘blockbuster’ entry’ on its official TikTok account.
The song, released on May 25 as part of Coke Studio Pakistan Season 15, has captured the attention of millions of Pakistanis and is also making waves internationally. After seeing FIFA’s post, producer Zulfi took to his Instagram and wrote, “From Coke Studio Pakistan to FIFA’s global stage, our ‘Blockbuster’ just appeared with Mbappe on FIFA’s official TikTok page! Feels real.” Our voice, our beats, cross timelines that were once thought impossible. Congratulations, Pakistan. It’s an outstanding achievement.”
