Nigerian singer and songwriter Okereke Blessed Jordan, professionally known as Yarden, is set to release the official song for the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup
Yarden, who rose to prominence with his viral single Wetin, which dominated TikTok and earned him a debut at number 9 on the TurnTable NXT Emerging Top Artistes chart for 17 weeks, is widely regarded as one of Nigeria’s most promising young artists.
The Lagos-raised musician is shaping the future of Afrobeats with a sound that blends soul, rhythm, and global energy. Since bursting onto the scene in 2023, Yarden has become known for music that reflects the fearless, borderless spirit of a new generation of African artists making waves internationally.
“TMRW’S GOAT is all about celebrating the energy, dreams, and spirit of young players who are writing their own stories,” Yarden said. “The FIFA U-17 World Cup is where future legends are born, and this song is a reminder that greatness starts today. Working with Nour from Egypt made it even more special, showing how music, just like football, can unite us across cultures and inspire the next generation.”
The track’s themes of unity and competition will set the tone for an exciting new chapter in FIFA U-17 World Cup history when the tournament kicks off next Monday.
This edition of the tournament is the first-ever 48-team FIFA competition, offering the next generation of football superstars a global stage to showcase their talent and announce themselves to the world.
