FIFA releases World Cup 2026 anthem ‘Goals’ by Rema, LISA, Anitta

The global spectacle of the FIFA World Cup is once again proving to be a powerful platform for cultural exchange, this time through music. The release of 'Goals,' a collaboration between Nigeria's Afrobeats sensation Rema, K-pop idol LISA, and Brazilian superstar Anitta, highlights the tournament's ability to transcend borders and unite diverse audiences.

The project mirrors the vibrancy and breadth of the global game, serving as a unifying platform where music and sport intersect – connecting fans, communities, and sounds from around the world.

This track, produced by Grammy winner Cirkut, is a vibrant fusion of Afrobeats, K-pop, and Latin pop, reflecting the rich tapestry of sounds from the continents represented by the artists. FIFA's vision for the Official World Cup Album is to create a unifying force, where the passion for sport intertwines with the universal language of music, fostering connections among fans worldwide.

“

Three continents, one track…bringing all our sounds together like this is a big moment for music on the world stage.

For Nigeria, this collaboration is more than just a song; it's a testament to the growing global influence of Afrobeats and its artists. Rema's inclusion alongside international stars like LISA and Anitta underscores the genre's reach and its ability to command a place on the world's biggest stages. The excitement from Rema, who called it a "big moment for music on the world stage," resonates deeply within the Nigerian music industry, showcasing a pride in homegrown talent achieving international acclaim.

Being a part of the Official FIFA World Cup Album this year has been so exciting. Music always unites people across the world, so it has been an honour to work with Anitta and Rema.

The anticipation for the live performance at the opening ceremony in Los Angeles further amplifies the significance of this cultural moment. It's an opportunity for Nigerian music to shine, not just as a regional genre, but as a global force contributing to the celebratory spirit of the FIFA World Cup.

My connection to the World Cup is deeply emotional. I’m Brazilian, after all, of course I have wonderful memories tied to the tournament. It’s incredibly special to now contribute to its history, collaborating with LISA and Rema on Goals! I’m very grateful for this opportunity.
