"Campione 2000" is the official song of the
UEFA Euro 2000
The 2000 UEFA European Football Championship, also known as Euro 2000, was the 11th UEFA European Championship, a football tournament held every four years and organised by UEFA, the sport's governing body in Europe.
The finals tournament was ...
held in the Netherlands and Belgium. It was performed by Swedish musician
E-Type and written by E-Type, Rick Blaskey and Kent Brainerd. It gained a huge popularity during the tournament and has since been heard in football games around Europe, both in national and international games. It translates as "Champion" in English.
The chorus of the song resembles the chorus of a Dutch popular song "
Oranje Boven", which insist the link between Netherlands with the Royal Dutch Family and a national chant honoring the red-white-blue tricolor Dutch national flag.
The song was included on E-Type's album ''
Euro IV Ever'' (2001), and on the Sport Edition of ''
Loud Pipes Save Lives'' (2004). It was also included on ''
