Why 'Wonderwall' is the England song of the 2026 World Cup

· Yahoo Sports

England's quest for World Cup glory continues on Sunday night against Mexico and fans are hoping to hear one particular song played by match's end.

If you've been paying attention to the 2026 World Cup, you might have heard "Wonderwall" by Oasis played after matches and especially after England's wins. Ahead of the 2026 World Cup, FIFA asked the nations in the tournament for songs that could be played after wins. The United States famously have been blaring "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver after victories, much to the delight of fans.

And for England? That song has been everyone's favorite tune that was constantly overplayed in college ... "Wonderwall".

According to ESPN, England submitted multiple songs for their victory tune — including "Sweet Caroline" and "Hey Jude" — but "Wonderwall" won out after it became an instant hit in their group stage win over Croatia. Oasis, of course, is an incredibly popular band from the United Kingdom, so the choice feels like an absolute no-brainer for England as long as they remain in the tournament.
