It’s just a few days away from the 2022 World Cup, are you ready?
Hip-hop star; Nicki Minaj has teamed up with Colombian singer-songwriter Maluma and Lebanese singer Myriam Fares for the latest addition to the official soundtrack of the World Cup in Qatar.
The single Tukoh Taka, with lyrics in English, Spanish and Arabic, was released on Friday, two days ahead of the start of the football tournament.
It is the latest in a series of songs by artists from around the world released as part of Fifa’s official soundtrack of the 2022 World Cup.
Maluma and Myriam Fares will perform at the opening of the Fifa fan festival in Doha on Saturday.
The World Cup 2022 opening ceremony will commence on Sunday, November 20. The ceremony is expected to start at 2 pm GMT (9 am ET). It will be staged ahead of the opening game between Qatar and Ecuador, which kicks off at 4 pm GMT (11 am ET). The ceremony was originally scheduled to take place on November 21, but it was brought forward along with the opening match. This was to preserve the tradition of the first game featuring the hosts or the defending champions.
The ceremony will take place live from the 60,000-seater Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor. The stadium was one of the stadiums built for the World Cup, opening in November 2021. The Al Bayt Stadium will host six group games, a round-of-16 match, and a semi-final in this tournament.
