Euro Cup 2024: 80's pop set to be season's hymn

It's time for some deja-vu as German singer Peter Schilling's hit set is going to be theme for this Euro Cup 2024. This music was originally produced in 1983 and quickly rose to number one in several European countries and is a definite hit in Germany.

There are more football songs expected to come out in preparation for the next ‘Euros’ so people are waiting to see if the next football anthem will be as good as the “Football’s Coming Home”. We now appear to have ‘Major Tom (Coming Home)’ in the mix for this season. The tune, which is related to David Bowie’s 1969 track “Space Oddity,” was launched nine years back as the soundtrack of the show Deutschland 83 and its successors. However, it is back in the limelight now and was recently used in Adidas’s kit unveiling video of the German team for Euro 2024.

Song receiving support as theme song for Germany's Euro squad

The song is receiving a lot of backing to be the 'official' anthem for the German national football team. On March 24, a petition was launched that has since garnered 69, 512 signatures for the same, suggesting a great deal of excitement among the fans. In an interview with The Independent, Derek Rae, a respected German football commentator, said that the song brings back fond flashbacks of German football's domination.

Peter Schilling's music contributions revisited

The man behind the track was German synthpop singer Peter Schilling. He was a big deal on the 80s music scene and the song’s return gives an exciting blast of nostalgia to this summer’s tournament. Fans in England are getting geared up for it – even though they have been warned by police not to sing “10 German Bombers” at Euro 2024.

The 2024 Euros will be hosted by Germany with the first match currently place in Munich on Friday, June 14. The finals of the cup will be held in Berlin on Sunday, July 14. As fans gear up for the start of the tournament, “Major Tom (Coming Home)” provides the ideal soundtrack as football-mad supporters unite.
