The Argentine singer/songwriter’s “Iguales” is the official song of the initiative, which released a video as the soccer tournament is well under way in the United States during the month of June.
“On the pitch and in the stands, we are all equal. Let’s celebrate diversity. We don’t discriminate,” says Torres, joined by renowned soccer players who pledge to embrace diversity.
