  • "Más Allá de los Sueños" by Peruvian singer-songwriter Gian Marco was the official theme song for the tournament.[8][9] The song was well received and became popular in Latin America but mostly in Perú.[10][11][12][13] Despite it being the official tournament theme song, Gian Marco was unable to perform it during the closing ceremony due to him being on tour at that time.[14]
  • "La Copa Será Tuya Al Final" by Betzaida was used by Univision as their theme song.[15][16][17]
