“Football, like music, is a universal language that has a passionate following – and I have witnessed this with my own eyes wherever I have travelled across the globe. It has been a privilege to collaborate with such passionate and talented women to create something that celebrates our roots and the excitement of the FIFA World Cup,” Fatehi, the Manike star said.
The music video celebrates the groundbreaking inclusion of female referees at the first-ever World Cup in the Middle East. Stéphanie Frappart from France, Salima Mukansanga from Rwanda and Yoshimi Yamashita from Japan will take charge of matches in Qatar, while Neuza Back from Brazil, Karen Díaz Medina from Mexico and Kathryn Nesbitt from the USA will be assistant referees. All of them feature in this music video.
For the Qatar World Cup, three songs, in English, French, Arabic, and Spanish, have been released. These songs are beautiful fusions of cultures with artistes from multiple ethnicities coming together to collaborate.
