Sorry for failing you so many times, Queens Park Rangers. The song obviously had a lot of mainstream appeal before the game, but hearing it today only evokes memories of countless Manager Modes started, abandoned, and then later restarted. While there are absolute bangers throughout FIFA’s soundtrack history, MGMT’s “Kids” from FIFA 09 is perhaps the most iconic. Well actually it kind of sucks, but I liked it as a 10-year-old.

Now dated, the old PS2 game is graphically archaic and hard to watch from a gameplay standpoint. While most nostalgia surrounding DJ Tiesto’s “Flight 643” revolves around nights spent at European clubs dancing until the sun comes up, mine lies in a night at home creating a 6-foot-4 phenom in FIFA 2002 as a 10-year-old. Thomas Clark: “Flight 643” - DJ Tiësto (FIFA 2002) If this was the song that played when you first got to the home screen you knew it was going to be a good few hours. Whoever won that argument usually won the match - there was absolutely no stopping a 95-overall Ronaldinho.

Whenever the opening guitar riff of Helicopter plays it immediately takes me back to 13-year-old Austin sitting by my TV in the garage, arguing with my brother about who got to play with Ronaldinho’s Barcelona. Austin Boaman: “Helicopter” - Bloc Party (FIFA 06)įIFA 06 was the first FIFA game that I ever owned, so the soundtrack has a special place in my heart. Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, Franz Ferdinand is always great for tunes that are fast, loud, and highly danceable, and “Tell Her Tonight” is delightfully unhinged and quite appropriate for a rowdy night of goal scoring and trash talking. Now this isn’t my favorite Franz Ferdinand song, but it’s perfect for a lively match of FIFA with your mates.

Patti Sanchez: “Tell Her Tonight” - Franz Ferdinand (FIFA 2005) Chaii use their appearance in FIFA 19 to make sure we wiggle our way to a more complete picture of music from the continent. While Burna Boy’s Nigerian dancehall fusion is the dominant force in what we consider Afro beats, the Zimbabwean duo of Bantu and Dr. “Jackie Chan” follows in the footsteps of the international slappers that have featured in FIFAs over the years, and provides nice context to the growing popularity of African music in America. If the title alone doesn’t make you smile, then you have a lot of movies to catch up on. Andrew Mitchell: “Jackie Chan” - Bantu and Dr. As we await to get our hands on the latest installment, we take a look back at some of our favorite songs from editions past. Soundtracks are new every year, and the nostalgic value they carry subconsciously sticks with us - so much so that one song can elicit joyous (or painful) memories from countless childhood FIFA matches.įIFA 20’s soundtrack has been released, and while there’s some promising tracks on it from artists like Loyle Carner, Goldlink, and Tierra Whack, we’ve yet to see if they’ll fit in with the gameplay. Sure, FIFA’s numerous game modes may be its main draw, but the introduction of all-new features like Volta are few and far between. The franchise’s next installment, FIFA 20, will make its long awaited debut this week, and while many (us included) are eagerly anticipating the return of its street mode, we’re also amped for the new lineup of songs set to feature on its soundtrack. The most recognizable soccer video game of all time (sorry PES fans), FIFA has captivated fans and gamers alike for over a quarter century. With FIFA 20 set to release worldwide this week, we take a look back at some of our favorite songs from years past that conjure memories of childhood and triumph, but mostly frustration. A new FIFA game is only as good as its soundtrack.
