Yes this was a wonderful theme song for World cup 1986 and boy i get nostalgic this song was also used for the European Championships in 1988 on ITV which was held in West Germany, which was won by the magnificent Holland team with Van Basten Guillit etc.
Thankyou for this clip this was my first football world cup way back in 1986, watched the tournament from beginning to end happy memories.

Feel good music. Fitting for a World Cup. Would certainly be happy to have it used again.
Aztec Gold is in my opinion how to perform the complete World Cup theme, plenty of Mexico representated in synth voices in a word ARRIBA
Yes. Quite possibly the greatest theme ever.
@Moh Kau how is quite possibly WRONG??
Wow. Goosebumps. Football just meant so much more in those days.
Best World Cup theme tune ever!!
Stunning!!
Big thumbs up for this.
This should permanent world cup theme will attract more viewers pls itv from qatar world cup make this the theme
Aztec Gold was also used for The Big Match in the following two seasons 1986/87 and 1987/88
And it was also used as the theme tune for Saint & Greavsie from 1986/87 until the final season of the old Football League Division 1 in 1991/92.
It IS the best World Cup theme tune ever. Curious as to why ITV would want to remove their finest hour in sport against the BBC?
Neil Gould I thought BBC theme was better
football in the 80s and early 90s was so much better :(
Brilliant...
Just a shame that ITV plc & UA-cam will inevitably combine forces to remove this! :P
The CGI ITV Sport logo with the time lapse clouds still looks good even now.
The best timelapse photography used in pop videos, promos, etc CLOUDS FORMATIONS
i miss 80s
khalid almiqnas I do but you have to move on

Wow. What an intro. Good stuff.
