Nigerian music stars Davido, Rema, Burna Boy, and Ayra Starr have earned spots on the official FIFA World Cup 2026 album, a project FIFA President Gianni Infantino described as bringing together an "extraordinarily strong music squad."

The album is a key part of FIFA's global music initiative leading up to the 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It features a diverse range of international collaborations, spanning multiple continents, languages, and musical genres, all under the theme 'Football Unites the World.'

Rema is featured on the track "GOALS" alongside LISA and Anitta, while Ayra Starr lends her voice to "SHOW ME" with Latto. Davido appears on "NO PLACE LIKE HOME" with Major Lazer and Nelly Furtado, and Burna Boy is featured on "DAI DAI" with Shakira. The 18-track album also includes contributions from global artists such as Future, Tyla, Stormzy, Daddy Yankee, Jessie Reyez, Shenseea, and The Rolling Stones.

This inclusion highlights the growing influence of Nigerian music, particularly Afrobeats, on the global stage. Nigerian artists have frequently been part of FIFA-related projects, underscoring the country's significant impact on the international music industry.
