Nigerian Afrobeats megastar Rema made historic global waves on Friday night, June 12, 2026, as he performed live at the spectacular opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup held at the iconic SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, United States.
Representing the musical heartbeat of the African continent, the Calm Down crooner shared the monumental global stage with K-pop royalty, BLACKPINK’s Lisa, and Brazilian global sensation Anitta for the highly anticipated live world debut of their massive collaborative single, "Goals."
The trio treated millions of soccer fans worldwide to a high-octane performance that seamlessly fused the infectious rhythms of West African Afrobeats, the crisp choreography of Asian K-pop, and the sultry baselines of Latin pop music.
Rema took to the field in a sleek, futuristic white hooded ensemble, closing out the global anthem with an electrifying rap verse about being an unstoppable force breaking cultural boundaries and scoring definitive goals in both music and life.

Produced by Grammy-winning hitmaker Cirkut alongside sonic architects Bava and Pink Slip, "Goals" was released in May as a flagship track on the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album.
The glittering Los Angeles ceremony, which also featured star-studded sets from hip-hop titan Future and South African Grammy winner Tyla, took place just moments before the United States Men's National Team squared off against Paraguay.
The performance came less than 24 hours after fellow Nigerian powerhouse Burna Boy collaborated with Colombian queen Shakira at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City to debut the tournament's parallel official anthem, "Dai Dai," cementing Afrobeats' undisputed dominance on the world sports landscape.
