{{Main|FIFA Anthem}}

Akin to the [[UEFA Champions League]], FIFA has adopted an anthem composed by the German composer [[Franz Lambert]] since the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]]. It has been re-arranged and produced by [[Rob May]] and [[Simon Hill (musician)|Simon Hill]].<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eCvUCgAAQBAJ&q=Rob+May+and+Simon+Hill+FIFA+ANTHEM&pg=PA71 |title=Designing Inclusive Pathways with Young Adults: Learning and Development for a Better World |first1=Judith |last1=Kearney |first2=Lesley |last2=Wood |first3=Richard |last3=Teare |date=28 October 2015 |publisher=Springer |isbn=9789463001571 |via=Google Books |access-date=11 November 2020 |archive-date=19 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210419143048/https://books.google.com/books?id=eCvUCgAAQBAJ&q=Rob+May+and+Simon+Hill+FIFA+ANTHEM&pg=PA71 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/education/story/fifa-facts/1/673827.html |title=FIFA's 113th foundation day: 10 things you should know about world football's governing body: Sports Arena |website=indiatoday. in today.in |access-date=14 October 2017 |archive-date=16 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171016232914/http://indiatoday.intoday.in/education/story/fifa-facts/1/673827.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The FIFA Anthem is played at the beginning of official FIFA sanctioned matches and tournaments such as international friendlies, the [[FIFA World Cup]], [[FIFA Women's World Cup]], [[FIFA U-20 World Cup]], [[FIFA U-17 World Cup]], [[Football at the Summer Olympics]], [[FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup]], [[FIFA Women's U-17 World Cup]], [[FIFA Futsal World Cup]], [[FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup]] and [[FIFA Club World Cup]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9I7bn1b4oc | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/R9I7bn1b4oc| archive-date=11 December 2021 | url-status=live|title=FIFA anthem | date=14 August 2007|publisher=YouTube |access-date=19 May 2010}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

Since 2007, FIFA has also required most of its broadcast partners to use short sequences including the anthem at the beginning and end of FIFA event coverage and for [[break bumper]]s to help promote FIFA's sponsors. This emulates practices long used by international football events, such as the UEFA Champions League. Exceptions may be made for specific circumstances; for example, an original piece of African music was used for bumpers during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20180614-world-cup-2018-the-extraordinary-power-of-the-football-song |title=The extraordinary power of the football song |date=14 June 2018 |work=BBC |access-date=20 February 2019 |archive-date=18 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190718110359/http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20180614-world-cup-2018-the-extraordinary-power-of-the-football-song |url-status=live }}</ref>
