A Beats & Rhymes FC message from Germany midfielder Julia Simic

Beyond just the dance celebrations and headphone-clad emergences from a team bus on match day, there is a whole world more connecting football and music. Beats & Rhymes FC tells the stories of how a song lights the fuse for a player, how bands and artists colourise their lives outside the game, and how music itself can bond an entire team.

The nostalgia of a first album, the weakness in the knees before an initiation song, or even those who’ve swapped the stadium for the studio. Since 2011, the performers and personalities from all around the men’s and women’s game have shared their soundtrack, along with career talk, teammates, memories and lessons learned from a life in the sport.
