The "FIFA Anthem" or "FIFA Hymn" is played at the beginning of FIFA-structured football matches and tournaments such as international friendlies, the FIFA World Cup or any other football competitions, usually as players enter the field.[1]

History

1990s

It was first played at the 1994 World Cup. It was composed by Franz Lambert, and is instrumental with no lyrics.[2] It was arranged by Rob May and Simon Hill.[3][4]

2000s

In 2004, the song was rearranged and re-recorded with improved acoustics by Gota Yashiki[5] and it is this version that is currently used by FIFA before the start of football games.[6]
