Sanjoy Joins FIFA 2026 Album

Bangladeshi-American DJ and music producer Sanjoy has secured a landmark achievement by featuring in the official soundtrack of the FIFA World Cup 2026, while also being selected to perform at its opening ceremonies alongside global superstars.

In a statement shared via social media, Sanjoy described the moment as the culmination of years of dedication and aspiration. He reflected on growing up in San Jose, California, where exposure to a multicultural environment significantly shaped his musical identity and creative direction. He noted that his ambition had always been to produce music for global stages, and the FIFA World Cup represents the pinnacle of such opportunities.

Sanjoy confirmed that his track titled “Sir Sir” has been included in the official World Cup 2026 soundtrack. The project also features a diverse lineup of international collaborators, underscoring the tournament’s emphasis on global cultural representation through music.

The DJ emphasised that the achievement is not solely personal but symbolic for young creators worldwide who aspire to break into international platforms despite limited beginnings. He highlighted the importance of persistence, cultural diversity, and artistic identity in reaching such milestones.

The official soundtrack brings together some of the most influential names in contemporary global music, blending genres ranging from pop and reggaeton to Afrobeats and rock. Among the featured artists are Shakira, Daddy Yankee, Burna Boy, Rema, and the legendary rock band The Rolling Stones.

Sanjoy’s inclusion places him in a rare cohort of South Asian-origin artists gaining visibility at one of the world’s most prestigious sporting and cultural events. He is also expected to perform during the opening celebrations across host nations.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with multiple opening ceremonies planned across the three countries. FIFA has reportedly curated a diverse roster of performers to reflect the global scale of the tournament.

Sanjoy, who was born in Srimangal and spent part of his childhood in Chattogram before moving to the United States, has often credited his family’s musical background for nurturing his passion. His mother’s singing and his grandmother’s involvement in music contributed to his early exposure to melody and rhythm.
