The US men’s national soccer team has found a new anthem in ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’, a classic song by John Denver. This adoption came after FIFA asked teams to submit playlists for warmups, goals, and wins.

The Origin Story

US Soccer consulted with players and staff to curate a list of songs that are both representative of American artists and good sing-along tracks for fans. The list included classics like Bon Jovi’s ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ and Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline’, but ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ was chosen specifically for its appeal.

The song has been well-received by fans, who have been singing along to it during matches. The team hopes to hear the song again in their final group stage match against Türkiye.
