The FIFA World Cup 2026™ is expected to hit the highest of notes, from the sounds of jubilant fans in stadiums and sublime skills of the greatest players in the world to the historic first half-time show at the final in New York New Jersey Stadium. And the diversity and creativity of the global showpiece has been amplified by FIFA’s unique Sonic ID initiative, which launched in March 2025.
Some of the most talented and influential producers from the 16 Host Cities across Canada, Mexico and the United States have come together to create bespoke Sonic IDs – audio brands that connect the FIFA World Cup 2026 with Host Cities’ respective communities in a unique and memorable way.
Each Host City selected a local producer to remix the Official FIFA World Cup 2026™ Theme, infusing it with the distinct sound, vibe and cultural essence of their city. Vancouver has collaborated with DJ and producer Grayson Repp, who has blended history and modernity to create a track that features the voices and rhythms of Musquem, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.
“Vancouver is a city like no other. A masterpiece nestled between the Pacific Ocean and Majestic Mountains. Its vibrant beauty and natural energy are magnetic and that spirit inspired my track,” Grayson Repp said.
“Vancouver is fresh, alive and deeply connected to its indigenous roots and I wanted my music to reflect that – an upbeat, contemporary piece infused with the sounds of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.”
Fans will be able to stream, download and enjoy their city-specific Sonic IDs on popular music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and more, and watch each city’s Sonic ID visualiser on FIFA’s YouTube channel.
In addition, the full Vancouver Sonic ID playlist is available on Spotify. The playlist highlights the city’s diverse music scene, blending hits from icons like Bryan Adams, Michael Buble, Nelly Furtado and Carly Rae Jepsen with local favourites such as Loverboy, 54-40 and Marianas Trench.
