IShowSpeed's "World Cup Champions" Hit 3 Million Views in 14 Hours. FIFA Said "We Will Be in Touch."

IShowSpeed released his 2026 FIFA World Cup song two days ago. By the time most people woke up the next morning, it had already been watched 3 million times.

The song is called "World Cup (Champions)" and the official music video dropped on June 1 — just 10 days before the tournament kicks off in Mexico City. In the first two hours alone it crossed 600,000 views. By the 14-hour mark it was sitting at 3 million views and half a million likes on YouTube.

For context — his 2022 World Cup song currently has over 209 million views. The man knows how to make a football anthem.

What makes this song different from the last one

Speed's 2022 track was about the excitement of the tournament — pure energy, no real structure. "World Cup (Champions)" is trying to be something bigger. The song specifically shouts out every single country participating in the 2026 World Cup — from Australia to Türkiye. Every nation gets their moment. That decision is exactly why fans from dozens of countries have been sharing it.

Speed wore a Portugal jersey in the music video — no surprises there for anyone who has watched more than five minutes of his content. His obsession with Cristiano Ronaldo is well documented and has been running since the day a fan donation changed the course of his career.

The video was directed by Zach Madden and executive produced by Slipz and Ames Ward. Production-wise it is the most polished thing Speed has put out musically.

The FIFA moment nobody expected

Speed wants the song to be the official tournament anthem. He made that public push on social media after the release numbers started coming in. FIFA's official account on X replied with four words:

"We will be in touch..."

That reply sent the internet into a frenzy. FIFA already has an official anthem — "Dai Dai" by Shakira and Burna Boy, released as part of a star-studded official 2026 World Cup album. But fans are now openly arguing that Speed's track has more energy and more global appeal than anything on the official list.

Whether FIFA actually follows up or whether that reply was just good social media management — nobody knows yet.

The numbers in real time

Three million views in 14 hours is genuinely remarkable for a non-mainstream artist releasing independently. For comparison, Speed's 2022 song took longer to reach that milestone before eventually compounding to 209 million. If the 2026 song follows even a similar trajectory — and with the World Cup starting in 10 days, the timing could not be better — this has a realistic chance of becoming the defining viral song of the tournament.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 kicks off June 11 in Mexico City. Speed's song will almost certainly be playing in fan zones, bars and living rooms across Nepal and the world when it does.
