An anthem to celebrate the UEFA Women’s EURO 2022

In March, a national callout invited fans to submit words, ideas and phrases to contribute to a new a new anthem celebrating the Women’s EURO 2022.

Inspired by three prompts set by writer Hazel Gould, fans’ perspectives and lyrics have been woven together into a new anthem, 'Beautiful Game', by composer Shirley Thompson OBE and recorded by the full Royal Philharmonic Orchestra plus community singers from each host city. 

Music, lyrics and recordings of the anthem are available to download and use below.
