Sydney/, Australia — The AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026 has reached a historic milestone with the unveiling of its first-ever Official Tournament Anthem, That’s How We Win, a powerful new soundtrack designed to define the spirit of Asia’s premier women’s football competition.
Created specifically for the 2026 edition in Australia, the anthem blends driving percussion with musical influences from across Asia, building an energetic and unified sound that captures ambition, resilience and belief. It is crafted to ignite stadiums throughout the tournament and remain a defining memory long after the final match.
The track was composed by acclaimed music director Joel Farland, who has worked on global stages and major Australian events. He collaborated with Australian-born songwriter and producer Nat Dunn, known internationally for her work with artists including Charli XCX, BLACKPINK, and Rita Ora. Dunn also recorded the studio vocals for the anthem, delivering the voice that will echo across tournament venues.
The anthem will come to life at the Opening Ceremony in Perth on 1 March, ahead of Australia’s highly anticipated clash with the Philippines. Rising performer ZIPPORAH, a proud Saibai Island artist from the Torres Strait and daughter of celebrated Australian entertainer Christine Anu, will perform the anthem live in front of a global audience. She will be joined on stage by international star Audrey Nuna, bringing together two dynamic female voices to open the tournament in style.
The anthem’s release follows the recent unveiling of the official match ball, WAVEMAKER, and the introduction of the tournament’s first-ever mascot, Naara, signalling a bold new chapter for the competition.
Set to run from 1 to 21 March across Perth, Gold Coast and Sydney, the tournament will feature 12 national teams competing for continental glory. With record attendance expected and global broadcast coverage secured, Australia 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest edition in the history of the Women’s Asian Cup.
