The popular video game EA 25 (formerly FIFA) by EA SPORTS has been released, accompanied by an impressive soundtrack featuring 114 tracks. Among the well-known artists like Billie Eilish, Coldplay, Twenty One Pilots, and Sia, a Eurovision representative stands out:
BLANCO, who represented Italy at Eurovision 2022 alongside Mahmood with the song “Brividi”, has his song “Ancora Ancora Ancora” included in the soundtrack. This inclusion highlights the influence of Eurovision in various contexts. The song, released in April 2023, has garnered only a million views so far. Will its inclusion in one of the world’s best-selling games increase its popularity? We’ll know soon.
Another Song from the Italian National Selection
Another track that made it to this year’s game soundtrack is “I Pe Me Tu Pe Te” by Geolier. This song competed in Italy’s Eurovision national selection, Sanremo Festival, and even won first place in the public vote. However, due to low rankings from radio experts and journalists, it finished second overall behind Angelina Mango.
History of Eurovision Representatives in FIFA Games
BLANCO becomes the third Eurovision artist to have a song featured in a FIFA game. Previously, the band MaNga, who represented Turkey at Eurovision 2010 with “We Could Be The Same” and finished second, had their song “Bir Kadın Çizeceksin” included in the 2006 game soundtrack. Olly Alexander, representing the UK at Eurovision 2024 with “Dizzy“, could also join this list, as the song “Gold” by his former band Years & Years was featured in the 2016 game soundtrack
Italy has participated in Eurovision approximately 48 times since joining the competition in 1956 and is counted among the seven founding countries of the contest. Italy has won the competition 3 times, in 1964, 1990, and 2021.
