Davido to feature on the 2026 World Cup album

Davido is taking his global takeover to the world’s biggest sporting stage. The Nigerian megastar has been officially confirmed for the 2026 FIFA World Cup album, landing a coveted spot on football’s most anticipated soundtrack alongside some seriously heavy hitters.

The Afrobeats heavyweight will lend his vocals to “No Place Like Home,” a collaboration featuring electronic powerhouse Major Lazer and Canadian pop legend Nelly Furtado. It’s the kind of cross-continental lineup that perfectly captures where global music is headed right now—and Davido’s sitting right at the center of it. Beyond the album, he’s also locked in to perform at the 2026 World Cup countdown concert at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, proving once again that when the world wants to celebrate, they call on Afrobeats.

This latest achievement adds another massive notch to Davido’s already decorated belt. For years, he’s been pushing Afrobeats beyond the continent, racking up international collaborations and chart dominance that’s helped rewrite the rules of what African artists can accomplish globally. The 2026 World Cup album is reportedly one of the most musically diverse in tournament history, with multiple African artists joining the tracklist—a clear sign that the culture’s influence isn’t just growing, it’s dominating.

With billions of eyes set to tune into the World Cup, “No Place Like Home” could become one of the tournament’s defining anthems. For Davido and the entire Afrobeats movement, it’s another victory lap on the world stage—exactly where they belong.
