World Cup Songs
The first official anthem of the World Cup came in 1962 when Chile hosted the tournament, and the song "El Rock del Mundial" by the Chilean band Los Ramblers, which translates to "World Cup Rock", was the first ever World Cup song, and since then the idea of producing an official World Cup song has become a tradition with every 4 World Cups.
The idea of producing a song dedicated to each World Cup has been adopted since the beginning of the FIFA World Cup in Uruguay in 1930, and the World Cup song is produced to increase the enthusiasm of the fans, but with the global follow-up of this sporting event, some songs have become more popular than they are for fans of the Round Witch.
