When a country wins the right to host the FIFA World Cup it is a moment of pride and achievement. Yes, the dirty bidding process somewhat takes away the gloss, but no doubt hosting this event ranks up there.

Whilst this should really be the preserve of the host, FIFA has done remarkedly well in choosing the best songs for the tournament all these years. Today I want to dive into the best five world cup songs since the tournament’s inception in 1930. This is a mix of all genres of music and is very painstaking to leave out some of my favorites. So let’s kick it off with a pop singer who has sadly gone slightly off the pop culture radar in the last decade or so, but she is super talented.
