Rema joined LISA and Anitta at SoFi Stadium for a live performance of “Goals” during the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening celebrations, delivering one of the standout musical moments of the tournament build-up.

The performance brought together three global music forces on one stage, each delivering distinct sonic identities that merged into a cohesive live experience. Lisa opened the track, followed by Anitta’s rhythmic verse, before Rema closed with his Afrobeats-driven section, anchoring the song with a sound that resonated strongly with the stadium audience.

Visually, the staging leaned into a unified monochromatic theme. Rema appeared in an all-white ensemble featuring a loose hooded jacket layered over a ribbed vest and wide-leg trousers. He completed the look with a crystal-detailed angel pendant, a luxury watch, futuristic sunglasses with fringe detailing, and a white head wrap tucked beneath the hood, reinforcing the clean tonal direction of the performance.

Lisa and Anitta complemented the aesthetic with coordinated white outfits of their own, creating a shared visual language across the stage without identical styling. The result was a balanced blend of individuality and cohesion, enhancing the global narrative of the performance.

The collaboration underscored the increasing intersection of music and major sporting events, with Afrobeats, K-pop, and Latin pop converging on one of football’s biggest stages. Rema’s closing verse, in particular, drew strong audience response, cementing the performance as a highlight of the opening ceremony lineup.

After the show, Rema shared images from the moment on social media, captioning it simply: “Momma hope you proud 🤍🇳🇬”.
