To coincide with the start of the 25th Season of Major League Soccer, the league today unveiled an all-new official anthem. The track is composed by world-renowned musician Hans Zimmer, the Grammy and Academy Award-winning composer of the scores for Gladiator, The Lion King and more than 150 major films spanning over four decades.
Beginning with the launch of the 2020 MLS season this Saturday, Feb. 29, the new anthem will be played during the player procession at all MLS games, featured on MLS broadcasts and soon to be available across all popular music streaming services. Major League Soccer’s new anthem was recorded domestically at Ocean Way Recording Studios in Nashville and featured over 40 session musicians.
“Nothing moves people like the global game of soccer, composing an anthem for Major League Soccer was a thrilling challenge and a great honor given its growth and increasing stature in world sports,” said Zimmer. “I’m proud of the finished product and of all of the artists who worked on the piece. We have created an anthem that captures the true spirit of MLS and its supporters during this remarkable era for the league.”
