UEFA have revealed their official song for Euro 2024 – ‘FIRE’.
The track, which features Grammy nominated group OneRepublic, house producers MEDUZA and pop star Leony, is already a hit online.
With less than a month until the tournament gets underway in Munich, Germany on June 14, the track is already living up to its name.
The anthem was written by American pop rock band OneRepublic, and produced by Italian trio MEDUZA.
The official song merges the Italian group’s anthemic house set-up with the German singer-songwriter Leony’s pop expertise into one three-minute track.
‘FIRE’ embodies the fervour and spirit of football and music fans alike.

Uefa EURO 2024 tournament director Philipp Lahm said: “Football and music both have the power to unite people.”
“When I think of EURO ’96, I have ‘Football’s Coming Home’ in my head.

“Good sport and beautiful music should carry us through the summer – with the song ‘FIRE’.”
After Ryan Tedder wrote the music and invited MEDUZA and Leony to join him, the unlikely combo spent three months working on the project.
Tedder said: “We wrote it for football and music fans everywhere, hoping it will inspire and unite us as we count down to the Euros.
“The #LightYourFire campaign is an invitation to fans worldwide to join us on this journey.”
Supporters will have the chance to see the anthem performed live by the three artists during the closing ceremony, which takes place ahead of the final at Olympiastadion Berlin on Sunday 14 July.
