Aitana's song, ‘SUPERESTRELLA’, has become the unofficial anthem of the Spanish national team during the 2026 World Cup. The artist performed it at the Cibeles celebration in front of two million people.
The Cibeles square, in the heart of Madrid, resonated last weekend with Aitana's performance. The Catalan singer performed ‘SUPERESTRELLA’, the song that has accompanied the Spanish national team throughout the 2026 World Cup and is now considered a popular anthem.
From Pop Song to World Cup Soundtrack
‘SUPERESTRELLA’ was released on May 30, 2025, as part of Aitana's album Cuarto Azul. Since then, the song has gained traction on digital platforms, but its true breakthrough came during the World Cup. According to sources from the organisation, the song played during every victory for Spain, becoming a talisman for both players and fans.
The artist explained during the celebration that the song “closed the circle” of a story that blended football, pop, and collective emotion. The fans gathered in Cibeles chanted the chorus while Aitana sang from the stage set up in front of the fountain.
Two Million People in the Streets
The celebration of Spain's World Cup title brought together nearly two million people in the streets of Madrid, according to the city council. The Cibeles area was the epicentre of the festivities, where players shared the moment with fans.
For attendees, Aitana's performance was one of the most anticipated moments. Many had been waiting for hours to hear live the song that had been the soundtrack of every match. “It’s incredible how one song can unite so many people,” commented a young woman who travelled from Alcalá de Henares to experience the celebration.
The Power of a Song that Transcends
For a pop song to become the anthem of a sporting achievement doesn’t happen every day. ‘SUPERESTRELLA’ has achieved something that goes beyond streaming numbers: it represents a shared emotion felt by millions of Spaniards.
The song has also been highlighted by music media as one of the summer hits, but its connection to the World Cup has given it an extra dimension. Residents of the Community of Madrid who could not attend Cibeles have shared videos of the moment on social media, amplifying the anthem's reach.
For Madrileños, seeing Aitana sing at one of the city's most iconic venues has been a source of pride. The artist, who began her career on television shows, has proven that her music can fill stadiums as well as historic squares.
A Golden Finale for the World Cup
The performance at Cibeles was not only a golden finale for the national team but also for Aitana herself. The singer has confirmed her global moment, with a career that crosses generations and borders. ‘SUPERESTRELLA’ is now more than just a song: it is part of the collective memory of this World Cup 2026.
For those who missed it, RTVE has uploaded the complete video of the performance on its platform. And, of course, the song continues to play on all radios and on the phones of fans who don’t want the celebration to end.
