Fans were quick to express their excitement at the possibility of seeing 'World Cup (Champions)' become part of the tournament's official soundtrack. One supporter praised the idea, writing, "Since FIFA said they'd be in touch about making this official, I just gotta say that I really couldn't think of anyone better to represent the World Cup than the guy who's spent the last three years promoting and learning the world's cultures and breaking stereotypes around them."
On 3 June, IShowSpeed opened a DM from the official FIFA World Cup Instagram account on a livestream, the message read, "We heard it. We liked it. It’s on the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album," as he cheered and celebrated the incredible milestone his track has achieved.
