Next year, xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations will welcome FIFA World Cup 26™ to the City of Vancouver. Music has always been an important part of FIFA World Cup™, and for the first time in World Cup history, each of the 16 host cities has partnered with a local music producer to remix the tournament’s theme and infuse it with the cultural essence of their location.
Vancouver’s official host city remix, created by renowned Vancouver DJ and producer Grayson Repp is the only FIFA World Cup 26™ remix to feature local Indigenous artists, bringing vocals and music from the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations together. Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw’s own Peter Yelton and Calvin Charlie-Dawson contributed their cultural and musical skills to infuse the song with Sḵwx̱wú7mesh sounds that have echoed through these lands since time immemorial.
