“Shouting Out For England” by School of Ball is an original England FIFA World Cup 2026 charity football song sung by primary school football fans.
92% of all proceeds from the single’s campaign go to Football Beyond Borders – a UK charity that works with young people from areas of socio-economic disadvantage who are passionate about football but disengaged at school, to help them finish school with the skills and grades to make a successful transition into adulthood. Listen to a sneak preview here…
We are aiming to reach the No. 1 spot in the UK Singles Charts on Friday 12th June so we will be topping the charts when England play their first match of the FIFA World Cup 2026 against Croatia on Wednesday 17th June.
We need your crowd videos…
We’re inviting kids to help us make a video by filming themselves playing football, doing football tricks – basically anything footy related. You’ll need to post your video on social media, or to an online drive then send us a link so we can check it out. If we can use it we’ll send you a form and instructions on how to submit it to us. Email us at video@shoutingoutforengland.com
Are you a celebrity? Do football fans worship the ground you walk on? If so we need you. We’re looking for celebs to pitch in by recording their most encouraging “Come On England” for the outro of our video. You can do it on your phone. A selfie video would be great but just audio is fine. It’s easy – just record yourself saying “Come on England” and email it to us at celeb@shoutingoutforengland.com.
22 years ago, (very) amateur musician Alex wrote and submitted a song for the Christian O’Connell XFM Breakfast Show’s ‘Song For Euros 2004’ football song competition. It was shortlisted and played on the show, but was pipped to the post by a more polished entry!
The song gathered dust until 2025 when Alex’s primary school aged kids came across it. They loved it and thought it would make a great anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with updated lyrics and a proper recording of course. And so “Waking Up For England” became “Shouting Out For England”, and the rest, is history (hopefully!).
