LOS ANGELES – As if there isn’t enough anticipation for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, groundbreaking K-pop group BTS is reportedly coming out with a brand new song for the event. 

The group — comprised of members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM (formerly Rap Monster), Jimin, V, RM and Jungkook — are ambassadors of Hyundai, a sponsor for the World Cup, will be releasing the song as part of the company’s global campaign “Goal Of The Century.”

On Sept. 20, Hyundai released a teaser for the song on its Instagram page.

“Warm up, stretch your legs and get ready to dance along with BTS and their new edition of ‘Yet To Come’. Stay tuned!” the company wrote. 

FIFA World Cup also announced a giveaway in collaboration with the K-pop boy band, where fans can stand a chance to win a trip to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

So is BTS producing the official anthem for the 2022 World Cup?

While a BTS-World Cup collaboration is news worth of its own, it’s not the official anthem for the highly anticipated event. 

With a month’s worth of sports drama and action, music has always been a huge part of the festivities. The World Cup brings together dozens of nations and cultures so it would only be reasonable that music would be at the center of that melting pot. 

This year the anthem is Hayya Hayya (Better Together) performed by Trinidad Cardona, Davido and AISHA.
