Rema to Perform at 2026 FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony

Rema has been announced as one of the performers at the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to an official post by FIFA on Instagram. The tournament is scheduled to begin on June 11, 2026, and will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The lineup for the opening ceremony includes other renowned artists such as Katy Perry, Anitta, Tyla, and Lisa, showcasing the diverse culture of the host countries. FIFA emphasized that the lineup reflects the cultural diversity of the United States and demonstrates music's ability to unite people from different backgrounds.

This announcement follows last week's reveal by Shakira of the official theme song for the tournament, which features Nigerian Grammy winner Burna Boy. The event marks a significant milestone in Rema's expanding global presence as one of Africa's biggest music exports.
