The International Cricket Council (ICC) has released a teaser for the official anthem of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, featuring renowned Pakistani singer Atif Aslam.
The teaser, posted on the ICC’s social media platforms, offers a glimpse of the excitement surrounding the event, which is set to take place in Pakistan.
The full song is set to be released on Friday, generating high anticipation as the tournament marks the return of the Champions Trophy after an eight-year hiatus.
Aslam, known for his powerful vocals and global appeal, brings his unique touch to the anthem, which is expected to resonate with cricket fans worldwide. His involvement is a fitting choice for the anthem, given his ability to connect with diverse audiences.
The tournament itself holds historical significance, as it marks the return of a major ICC event to Pakistan after nearly three decades.
The 2025 Champions Trophy will feature the top eight ODI teams, with matches scheduled in Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi.
Originally slated to be held entirely in Pakistan, the event's format was altered after arch-rival India decided against sending players due to security concerns. Despite this, the Pakistan Cricket Board has assured full security for all participants.
Notably, Pakistan is the reigning champion, having won the 2017 edition in England and Wales. Australia and India are the most successful teams in the tournament’s history, each with two titles.
