Four Nigerian music superstars Davido, Burna Boy, Rema and Ayra Starr have been selected to feature on the official soundtrack album for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, marking another milestone for the global rise of Afrobeats.

FIFA unveiled the star-studded album ahead of the tournament scheduled to be hosted jointly by the United States, Canada and Mexico. The project brings together leading artists from different parts of the world in a celebration of football, culture and music.

The inclusion of four Nigerian artists on the 18-track album underscores the growing influence of Nigerian music on the international stage. Over the past decade, Afrobeats has evolved from a regional genre into a global phenomenon, attracting millions of listeners and earning recognition at major international events.

According to details released by FIFA, Rema features on the track Goals alongside Thai rapper Lisa and Brazilian singer Anitta. Davido contributes to No Place Like Home, while Ayra Starr teams up with American rapper Latto on Show Me.

The announcement has generated excitement among Nigerian music fans, many of whom see the development as further proof of the country’s growing cultural influence worldwide. Social media platforms were flooded with congratulatory messages shortly after the artists were unveiled as part of the official lineup.

Industry observers say the selection of the Nigerian stars reflects the widespread popularity of Afrobeats and its ability to connect with audiences across continents. The genre has increasingly become a fixture at major sporting events, international award shows and global entertainment platforms.

For Davido, Burna Boy, Rema and Ayra Starr, the FIFA World Cup album offers another opportunity to showcase Nigerian talent to a worldwide audience. The quartet has collectively earned numerous international awards, chart successes and collaborations with some of the biggest names in global music.
