Rema Teams With BLACKPINK's Lisa for FIFA World Cup Song
Nigerian superstar Rema collaborates on FIFA World Cup song 'GOALS' alongside BLACKPINK's Lisa and Brazilian singer Anitta, FIFA announced Tuesday night. The track, produced in partnership with FIFA and featuring Tropkillaz, drops Thursday.
This collaboration strengthens Rema's growing international profile following his selection to headline the 2026 World Cup opening ceremony in Los Angeles Stadium. He'll perform alongside Tyla, Future, Katy Perry, Anitta, and Lisa from June 11-July 19.
The selection reflects FIFA's emphasis on cultural diversity and diasporic communities, following Burna Boy's recent 'Dai Dai' collaboration with Shakira. With two Nigerian artists now central to World Cup music, is this about individual talent or Nigeria finally getting its infrastructure on the global stage?
