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 moment for Afrobeats on the global stage.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on June 12, 2026, ahead of the tournament’s opening match between the host nation and Paraguay.

Rema is expected to share the stage with several international stars, including Katy Perry, Future, Lisa, Tyla and Anitta.
