‘Zamani’ and ‘Makani’, produced by Doha-based Katara Studios, are an ode to
Arab unity and a shared passion for football
The FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025™ Local Organising Committee has announced the
release of the tournament’s official soundtrack, as excitement builds for the prestigious
Arab competition taking place from 1-18 December. Consisting of two songs, titled
‘Zamani’ and ‘Makani’, both produced by Doha-based Katara Studios, the upbeat
soundtrack is an ode to the passion and camaraderie that Arab fans share as they
come together, once again, to celebrate the beautiful game.
‘Zamani’, which means, ‘My Time’ in Arabic, is sung by Qatari artist, Hamad Al Khazina,
with lyrics penned by Mohammad Al Khajah. In a celebratory style befitting the spirit of
football, the song focuses on the importance of ambition, the spirit of determination, and
the joy of achievement, while declaring that the region’s time to shine has come.
‘Makani’ is the second song released, which means ‘My Place’ in Arabic, with eminent
Egyptian artist Mohamed Mounir lending his vocals, and lyrics by Mostafa Hadouta. The
song examines the concept of home from a human perspective, celebrating the shared
identity among Arabs that transcends borders to create a community that provides
support, unity, and a sense of true belonging.
Both songs are composed by award-winning Moroccan-Swedish record producer Nadir
Khayat, also known as RedOne, who has previously worked on the official soundtrack
of the historic FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, regaling fans with unforgettable hits such
as Arhbo and Dreamers.
