Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Rema is set to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, marking another major international milestone for Afrobeats music.
The ceremony is expected to hold on June 12, 2026, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, ahead of the tournament’s opening match involving the host nation and Paraguay.
Rema is reportedly part of a star-studded lineup featuring international music stars including Katy Perry, Future, Lisa, Tyla, and Anitta.

The development is being viewed as another major breakthrough for Afrobeats on the global stage, reflecting the genre’s growing international influence and mainstream acceptance.
Industry analysts say the performance could further expand Rema’s global reach, increase streaming numbers, and strengthen opportunities for international collaborations, tours, and endorsement deals.
