Nigerian Afrobeats star Rema performed on June 12, 2026, during the Los Angeles kickoff festivities of the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening weekend, thrilling fans with a spectacular appearance at SoFi Stadium.
Rema joined Lisa and Anitta for the first‑ever live performance of their collaborative track ‘Goals’, delivering one of the standout moments of the ceremony.
The trio represented Africa, Asia and Latin America, blending Afrobeats, K‑pop and Latin pop in a vibrant showcase that captured the global spirit of the World Cup.
Rema stepped onto the stage in a striking white hooded outfit, sharing the spotlight with both stars as fans witnessed the highly anticipated live debut of ‘Goals’.
Softfootball understands, the song, released in May as part of the official FIFA World Cup 2026 album, was produced by Grammy‑winner Cirkut, alongside Bava and Pink Slip, and has quickly become one of the defining anthems of the tournament.
