Kasabian's record label, Sony, the band's third album are hoping it will give, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, a huge new boost all around the globe.
Considering live matches get up to one billion viewers that shouldn't be a problem.
The Leicester lads are now the first port of call when it comes to football and music.
Singer TOM MEIGHAN launched Umbro's England World Cup kit in Paris before the tournament. And their music is always used on TV, especially Match Of The Day and Sky Sports.
Paul Molnar from the Premier League said: "If we had just wanted a track, there are thousands of those that they could have used.
"But Kasabian are seen as a football band and that makes the use of the track so much stronger." Oosh.

Kasabian's songwriter and guitarist Serge Pizzorno


Kasabian's songwriter and guitarist Serge Pizzorno is attempting to educate music fans about the "rock'n'roll" way.

The Kasabian guitarist admits he is concerned that the younger generation are growing up without the knowledge of rebellious and creative artists and authors such as writer Ernest Hemingway, poet Charles Bukowski and abstract painter Pablo Picasso.He told Q magazine: "Kids don't know about the rock'n'roll way anymore. I don't mean just the music but Hemingway, Bukowski, Picasso…people who saw the world differently.”Serge admits he is inspired by creative people who are able to live a “wild life” but also acknowledges he needs to work hard to be successful.He added: "Bukowski, Keith Richards, Hemingway…those are artists that I respect. Those are the people you have to live up to if you can. They embraced a wild life so that they could experience something particular. I am fascinated by that and I always will be. But I've got quite a strong work ethic as well. You can't miss a show. You can't record a lot of s**t music and it down to 'being an artist and living the life.' You've got to get the job done or you've failed."Echoing some of his influences, Serge admits to turning to potent spirit absinthe for inspiration.He added: "About a year ago when we were making the last album. I was drinking a lot of it then. It's f***ing poison, man. It drives you mad."
