In 2010, a remix of the song, titled the "Celebration Mix", was recorded for use as Coca-Cola's promotional anthem for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, hosted by South Africa.[http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/e3ife9d9d88fcefbcdce6fc9bb98de68870] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091114073532/http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/e3ife9d9d88fcefbcdce6fc9bb98de68870|date=14 November 2009}} This version reached number one in Germany, Switzerland and Austria and number two in Italy, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.

Coca-Cola described the remix as "inspired by the joyous dance celebrations familiar to Africa." Coca-Cola integrated its jingle, well known from previous Coca-Cola commercials, into the mix, generating a direct association between the remixed song and the brand. New lyrics related to football were added, "let's rejoice in the Beautiful Game", and "see the champions take the field."[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10342791 "Rapper K'Naan's Wavin' Flag in World Cup triumph"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100721235316/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10342791 |date=21 July 2010 }}. BBC. Retrieved 17 October 2018 A music video shows people playing the game, and goal celebrations. The song was used throughout the tournament, and featured on all worldwide versions of the Coca-Cola campaign. The song was also played at events for the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour, where K'naan performed this version live for the first time, and featured on the online digital platform for the World Cup. He also performed at the World Cup kick-off concert. The music video for the remix includes a guest appearance by Damian Marley.{{cn|date=November 2024}} The remix video was recorded in Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, the site of the first 1930 FIFA World Cup Final. The remix version appears on the Champion Edition of Troubadour.

Although the remix features many elements of the original song, it includes most notably a new pre-chorus that sets the uplifting, unified tone of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, turning the song into one that is more open, more inviting and more celebratory. "I'm so proud of this [new] version," K'naan told Billboard.Biz. The new version also removes many of the darker lyrics of the original song. According to Billboard, Coca-Cola "loved the song but noted that lyrical references to 'a violent prone, poor people zone' and people 'struggling, fighting to eat' didn't fit the campaign's themes".{{cite magazine | url = http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/957856/how-knaans-song-became-coca-colas-world-cup-soundtrack| title = How K'Naan's Song Became Coca-Cola's World Cup Soundtrack|magazine=Billboard.com|access-date=23 February 2015}} {{quote|We took something like 50 drums and did this crazy mix for it. It's about the one time that we all get together and the world forgets its conflict and its problems and we focus on this unity and celebration. That moment is connected now to 'Wavin' Flag.'}}
