The Football Association (FA) has commissioned a new anthem for the men's and women's FA Cup tournaments, with music to be created by a British composer. The anthems will play before every match in a similar manner to the Champions League anthem, which was written by Tony Britten in 1992 and is iconic among football fans. The new anthems will not replace Abide With Me, a traditional hymn played at the FA Cup final since 1927.

The music rights for the men's FA Cup are shared between BBC and TNT, while Channel 4 and TNT broadcast the Women's FA Cup. The anthems will be used by broadcasters to enhance their television coverage of the tournaments.

The Universal Music Group company has been tasked with creating the new anthems, which will mark a significant change in the way the tournament is celebrated. The FA hopes that the new music will help to increase attendance and interest in the women's game, as well as boost overall football engagement.

While details about the composition of the new anthems have not been revealed, fans can expect an exciting addition to their match-day experience. With the men's and women's tournaments set to take center stage, it will be interesting to see how the new music brings a fresh energy to the iconic competition.
 
😕 just found out that the new FA Cup anthems are gonna make the Abide With Me one slower 🙏🏻 and that's not all, the Universal Music Group is also planning to launch a new streaming service with exclusive FA Cup content 📺... meanwhile, England's football team is still struggling to qualify for the World Cup 🤦‍♂️
 
The FA is trying out some new tunes for the FA Cup, eh? I mean, who doesn't love a good anthem to get their footy fix, right? 🤔 It's like they're saying, "Hey, let's spice things up with some fresh beats!" But seriously, can you imagine watching the final match without that iconic Abide With Me? It's like trying to eat a pizza without the cheese – not gonna work, mate! 😂 The FA is hoping it'll bring in more fans and interest for the women's game, which is fab, but let's be real, who wouldn't want to watch some footy already? 🏆👟
 
OMG I'M SO EXCITED FOR THESE NEW ANTHEMS!!! 🎵👏 they're gonna be created by a british composer and played before every match like in the champions league... that's such a big deal! i think it's amazing that they want to boost the women's game with new music it's about time we see more recognition for the talented female players. i'm curious to know what kind of vibe these anthems will have but i trust universal music group to create something EPIC 🤩 can't wait to see how this changes the match-day experience!
 
Just had to chuckle when I heard they're getting a new anthem for the FA Cup... always been a bit cheesy with Abide With Me, but I guess that's part of its charm 🤣. Still, can't wait to see what this new music brings - maybe something to really get the crowd pumped up! But seriously, it's great to see they're trying to boost interest in women's football... been a long time coming, but about time we saw more recognition for the ladies' game 🙌
 
I FEEL LIKE THIS IS SUCH A GREAT MOVE BY THE FA!!! 🎵👏 they're trying to bring more attention to the WOMEN'S GAME and i think that's AMAZING!!! it's about time we give some love to the ladies' teams, and with new music, it's gonna be SO MUCH FUN!!! I'm hyped for the new anthems, can't wait to see what kind of energy they'll bring to the matches! maybe it'll even inspire more people to get into football 🏆👍
 
I'm not convinced this is what we need... Another cash-grab to line the pockets of the FA and record labels 🤑💸. Can't they just stick with Abide With Me? It's been around for decades, it's classic, and it doesn't need some fancy new music to make a good atmosphere 💪🏽. And what's the real goal here? To boost interest in women's football? I'm not so sure... Maybe it'll work, but I think we're just throwing money at a problem without really solving anything 🤔💸
 
The FA is finally updating its anthem! 🎵🔥 Can you believe Abide With Me has been playing at the final since 1927?! That's like, ancient history for football fans lol. Anyway, I'm hyped to see what this new music brings! 🤩 The idea of having a fresh energy to the iconic competition is super cool. Did you know that the Champions League anthem was written by Tony Britten in 1992 and has been a fan favorite ever since? 📊 Here's some stats on football attendance: The average attendance for men's FA Cup matches is around 13,000 per game, while women's matches average around 5,500. 🚨 Let's hope the new music can boost those numbers! 🎉 The Universal Music Group has an awesome track record of creating iconic anthems... just look at that Taylor Swift song in Fortnite last year! 😂
 
🤔 I wonder what kind of vibe the composers are going for? Is it gonna be all about the excitement of the match or more emotional than that? The fact that they're sharing the rights with BBC and Channel 4 is cool, but will we get to see the anthems performed live or just on TV? 📺 What's the story behind Abide With Me being kept as a tradition? Is it gonna be played at every single FA Cup final forever? Shouldn't there be more variety in the anthems, like some kind of fan-voted option? Can't wait to hear what the new music sounds like! 😍
 
OMG I'm so hyped for the new FA Cup anthems 🎵🏆! Can't believe they're replacing Abide With Me after all these years... it's like when Spotify changed their playlist formula, you know how it threw some of your old faves out? 😩 But I guess it's time for a change. The Universal Music Group is gonna bring the noise (literally) 🎶 and make the matches way more epic! And can't wait to see the new anthems at the BBC and TNT broadcasts... it's like when they switched from ITV to Sky Sports, you know how that shook up the football vibe? 😅 Fingers crossed it'll boost the women's game attendance too... we need more love for our She Lions 🦁💪!

I think its gonna be sick to hear a new anthem for the FA Cup! Been going to matches since I was little & now our grandmas sing Abide With Me at the final lol what's next? Hopefully its gonna be more inclusive & represent the women's game better, we need to see more progress in that area. Maybe it'll bring in some new fans who dont know about the beautiful game
 
🤩 I'm so stoked that they're updating the FA Cup anthems! It's about time we got some fresh vibes for our beloved tournaments 🎵💪 The whole idea of creating something new is pretty cool, especially since it's not replacing Abide With Me - that's a tradition that's been going on for ages 💕. I'm hyped to see what the Universal Music Group comes up with - maybe they'll create something as iconic as "The Champions League Anthem" 🏆. Fingers crossed that these new anthems will indeed bring more people into the women's game, it's about time we give them some extra love ❤️. Can't wait for the matches to start and get this football party started! ⚽️
