In biennial tournaments like AFCON, and quadruple ones like the World Cup, music has been an incredible part of the tournament’s experience. Imagine having Christmas without any Christmas music, it just wouldn’t be the same.
Honestly, the official music of the AFCON 2024, is without a doubt one of the best official music for the biennial tournament.
Featuring well-known and established African hit makers such as Nigerian singer Yemi Alade, Egyptian actor and singer Mohamed Ramadan, and Ivorian group Magic System the song lived up to the bill.
With the title ‘AKWABA’- which stands for Welcome in the Akan language, the song is a masterpiece.
According to me, this is the most perfect song for such a gigantic tournament as AFCON. The lyrics just match perfectly with the theme of African love and unity especially when it comes to the game of football.
AKWABA seamlessly embodies the idea of representing one’s nation proudly while also having respect and admiration for others.
This will go down to many generations as one of the most iconic AFCON songs of- all time.
On a personal level, when I listen to this song, I always feel like getting my ball and just start dribbling. It’s that much of a hit song. It will be hard for another AFCON edition to release such a footballing song, uplifting, and just overall enjoyable song that matches the mood, and the tournament as perfectly as this song is doing.
In summary, the AFCON 2024 Soundtrack Akwaba lyrics is a song that captures the spirit and essence of the AFCON, which is the biggest and most prestigious football tournament in Africa. The song is a celebration of the African identity, diversity, and solidarity, and a warm invitation to the world to join the party. Akwaba is a song that will surely inspire and entertain the millions of fans who will watch the AFCON 2024, and make them proud to be African.
