Davido to feature on the 2026 World Cup album

Davido continues his meteoric rise on the global stage as the Afrobeats titan has been tapped to contribute to the official 2026 FIFA World Cup album, delivering yet another massive look for African music at one of the world’s most-watched events.

The Nigerian superstar will appear on a track called “No Place Like Home”, teaming up with electronic music heavyweights Major Lazer and Canadian pop star Nelly Furtado for what promises to be a cross-continental anthem. This isn’t just a studio collaboration either—Davido has also been confirmed to perform at the 2026 World Cup countdown concert at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, bringing Afrobeats energy to football’s grandest stage.

For those keeping score, this is another major flex in Davido’s already impressive résumé of international milestones. The OBO crooner has spent the better part of the last decade pushing Afrobeats into mainstream consciousness worldwide, and landing on a World Cup soundtrack puts him in rare company. The 2026 album is reportedly one of the most genre-diverse in tournament history, with African artists featuring prominently—a clear signal that the sound of the continent is no longer a trend, but a permanent fixture in global pop culture.

As football fans and music lovers around the world gear up for 2026, Davido’s involvement ensures that the Afrobeats wave will be felt loud and clear when the tournament kicks off. With “No Place Like Home” set to be one of the album’s standout moments, it’s another reminder that African music isn’t just participating in these global moments—it’s leading them.
