Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Rema, has joined forces with South Korean K-pop star, LISA, and Brazilian pop icon, Anitta, for “Goals,” the latest high-profile single from the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album.

Released on Thursday via SALXCO UAM and Def Jam Recordings, the track is accompanied by an official music video and boasts production from Grammy-winner Cirkut.

The sonic collaboration seamlessly blends Afrobeats, K-pop, and Latin pop, serving as a musical reflection of the global tournament’s diverse and expansive reach.

FIFA praised the project in an official statement, describing the upcoming album as a vibrant, unifying platform where music and sport intersect to connect fans and communities worldwide.

Echoing this sentiment, Rema celebrated the track as a landmark moment for global music, remarking, “Three continents, one track; bringing all our sounds together like this is a big moment for music on the world stage.”

Both LISA and Anitta expressed immense gratitude for the opportunity, with Anitta noting how deeply emotional the connection is for her as a Brazilian with a lifetime of World Cup memories.

Fans won’t have to wait long to see the trio share the stage, as they are scheduled to perform “Goals” live for the very first time at the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony.

The star-studded performance will take place at the Los Angeles Stadium on June 12, just ahead of the United States’ highly anticipated opening match. The high-energy track is expected to set a celebratory tone for the historic multi-nation tournament.

“Goals” marks the fifth official release from the tournament’s soundtrack, following previously dropped singles “Lighter,” “Por Ella,” “Echo,” and “Illuminate.”

The highly anticipated FIFA World Cup 2026 is set to officially kick off on June 11, with matches hosted across various cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
