Wegz to Perform “Ezz El Arab” at the FIFA World Cup Final

The creative musician, who has had a very eventful year, has produced an explosive composition for the 2022 World Cup official soundtrack, which he will sing at the final match.

Wegz has released "Ezz El Arab" as part of the FIFA 2022 World Cup Finals soundtrack in advance of his performance there on Sunday, December 18. The event will take place in Qatar.

Wegz, an internationally renowned Egyptian artist, has developed steadily over the course of his career. The Alexandrian rapper and vocalist have been a constant presence in modern Arabic music in a short amount of time by successfully ingraining himself into the cultural zeitgeist.

Wegz has made significant progress this year. For instance, his song "Al Bakht" has earned over 150 million views on YouTube and is the most-played artist in the MENA region on Spotify, according to the site's stats.

If Wegz has shown anything during his career, it is that he is constantly moving forward and working to improve his sound and widen his audience.

In support of these efforts, the well-known Egyptian rap icon has lately released an official tune for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, utilizing afro-beats, electronic music, and his distinctive singing style to produce an energizing track that explores themes of unity and pride.

Ali El Arabi, who also directed Wegz's "B3oda Ya Belady" from the acclaimed film "Captains of Zaatari," filmed the music video for the song. In a cinematic depiction of the tournament's festivities, the film shows Wegz in a number of scenes across Qatar while DJing in front of a crowd of loving soccer fans.

The new song was accompanied by a music video that was released by FIFA and featured famous Qatari locations, such as the vibrant Souq Waqif and a traditional dhow cruise with a view of the West Bay skyline.

The World Cup this year has served as more than just a sporting event for the MENA people. Despite the fact that many Arab national teams haven't performed to their full potential in past World Cups, the competition has always been a time for camaraderie and togetherness. However, the tournament this year, which is being held in Qatar, has witnessed outstanding performances from groups like Saudi Arabia and, of course, the Moroccan national team, who have inspired pride among Arab supporters throughout the region and beyond.
