Some of the world's biggest international talents in the world have come together to drop the official single of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

Colombian singer Maluma, Trinidadian-born rapper Nicki Minaj and Lebanese star Myriam Fares collaborated together for "Tukoh Taka," the first-ever official FIFA Fan Festival Anthem.

In a statement, Maluma says, "I am so happy to be part of this FIFA World Cup anthem!" He continues, "I always dreamt of an opportunity like this. Representing Latin music on this global track alongside amazing artists that sing in English and Arabic, takes our culture to another level."

"Tukoh Taka" blends rap and lyrical melodies that focus on uniting fans around the world as they celebrate beloved soccer traditions together.

"I'm so happy to be chosen by FIFA and Universal Arabic Music, represented by Wassim 'SAL' Slaiby and Republic Records, to perform the song 'Tukoh Taka,'" Fares said. "'Tukoh Taka,' the song that I was honored to participate in its composition, arrangement, and choreography, made me more passionate about it, in addition to working alongside two of my favorite international artists, Nicki Minaj and Maluma."

Adding, "I truly wish that 'Tukoh Taka' will be transmitting the Eastern culture and Arabian music to the whole world."

The FIFA World Cup in Qatar is the 22nd tournament of the men's national soccer teams and will take place from November 20 to December 18.
