List of National Anthem Files

Note: five anthems are not available in this game. You can learn more about them here.



Five national anthems are not available in this game for the following reasons:

Afghanistan - دا د باتورانو کور ("This Is the Home of the Brave")

Afghanistan's de facto anthem, "This Is the Home of the Brave" is an a capella song and so it has no music to go with the lyrics. For consistency this game only includes instrumental versions of anthems, so it was an impossible song to add.

Cyprus - Ύμνος εις την Ελευθερίαν ("Hymn to Liberty")

"Hymn to Liberty" is also the national anthem of Greece.

Liechtenstein - Oben am jungen Rhein ("High on the Young Rhine")

"High on the Young Rhine" uses the same melody as "God Save the King", the national anthem of the United Kingdom.

Syria

Syria's national anthem is currently unclear. The de jure anthem is حُمَاةَ الدِّيَارِ ("Guardians of the Homeland"). However, a different song, فِي سَبِيلِ المَجد ("In Pursuit of Glory") has recently been adopted by the Syrian Football Association as the country's temporary national anthem. There are currently no high quality freely licensed audio recordings of "In Pursuit of Glory" available that I can safely use on this website.

Zambia - Stand and Sing of Zambia, Proud and Free

Stand and Sing of Zambia, Proud and Free uses the melody of "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika", which is also used for the national anthem of Tanzania, Mungu ibariki Afrika ("God bless Africa").
