Mexico’s President addressed public debate surrounding “La Niña Futbolista,” a song by Julieta Venegas. The clarification came after speculation linked the song to being an official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The President stated the song was created as a tribute to girls who play soccer, not as an official World Cup theme. This statement aims to dispel misconceptions about the song’s intended purpose and connection to the tournament. The song’s release coincided with increased anticipation for the jointly-hosted World Cup in Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The President’s comments seek to separate the artistic creation from official World Cup branding. No official anthem has yet been announced for the 2026 World Cup.
