FIFA Uses Arif Lohar’s Song for Messi’s 37th Birthday Tribute.
Something we never thought would happen, did! The words of famous Pakistani folk singer Arif Lohar collided with the FIFA football world as Lohar’s 2023 hit song.
A few days ago, when the official Instagram account of FIFA shared a video on the occasion of football player Messi’s birthday, there was a frenzy among Pakistanis and this frenzy was not without reason.
Fifa paying tribute to the players is nothing new, but using a Pakistani and especially a Punjabi song for this purpose is nothing less.
The video that FIFA released on Messi’s birthday included a song by Pakistani Punjabi folk artist Arif Lohar, a song that has already become very popular.
FIFA chose Arif Lohar’s song ‘Aa teenu Moj Karawaan’ for this video and not only this but the caption of this video was also written in Urdu which was like ‘Messi Ka Jadoo’.
After seeing the Pakistani song and the caption in Pakistani language on Messi’s video, Pakistani consumers also felt like it was ‘magic’.
Pakistanis started sharing it in large numbers on social media.
Arif Lohar said that now I did not know what this song would become. Then my team reminded me two years later to do something with the song you made with the kids.
Arif Lohar further said that he did not imagine the popularity of this song later.
The highlight of this song is its lyrics and two Punjabi singers. Roach Killa and Deep Jundu are Canadian Punjabi rappers. Roach Kila Sabha was born in Libya to Pakistani parents, while Deep Jundu is a Punjabi producer and rapper from Canada.
Messi ‘The Greatest Football Player’
By the way, Argentina’s Messi is a familiar face to football fans. After winning the World Cup with his team, he has been mentioned in the discussion of great football players along with Maradona and Pele.
The Football World Cup in Qatar was a tournament with which Messi’s name is forever associated.
It should be noted that it was the dream of lifting the World Cup trophy that brought Messi to this point, but this path was not easy.
Messi played a role in 21 goals for his team at the World Cup, 13 of which were his own. After this Football World Cup, his total number of goals has reached 793.
