FIFA has officially added YouTuber IShowSpeed’s football anthem “Champions” to the 2026 World Cup album, joining 17 other tracks on the official collection.
FIFA reached out to Speed directly on Instagram to break the news. “We heard it. We liked it. It’s on the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album,” the governing body messaged him.
Speed’s reaction said everything. He was jumping on his bed, shouting and throwing out Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic “Siuuu” celebration. “It’s on the World Cup album. It’s official. Let’s go,” he said before breaking into a dance to his own track.
Speed dropped “Champions” just days before FIFA’s confirmation and the response was hard to miss. The video crossed 11 million views on YouTube almost immediately, with fans sharing it across every platform since.
Shot during a large production in Miami, the video features Speed in stadium-inspired settings surrounded by national flags, colored powder and strong Ghanaian cultural influences. He appears throughout wearing Ronaldo’s Portugal jersey.
The track skips the polished tournament-song formula and goes straight for a rapid-fire celebration of participating nations over a beat built for stadiums.
Speed has been open about his admiration for Ronaldo for years. Getting “Champions” on the World Cup album is one thing. Hearing it play in a stadium while his idol lifts the trophy would be something else entirely.
