Elevated experiences celebrating the culture through dance and rhythm
South Africa’s rising global star Tyla joined forces with Atlanta rapper Future to deliver an electrifying performance of their collaborative World Cup anthem “Game Time” at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The pair commanded the pitch just moments before the United States took on Paraguay, proving that the 2026 tournament is serving major moments both on and off the field. After Burna Boy and Shakira set the bar high at the Mexico City festivities, Tyla and Future matched that energy with a show that had the entire stadium on its feet.
The track itself was perfectly crafted for the global stage—Future’s signature melodic flow melting seamlessly into Tyla’s silky vocals over a pounding, rhythm-heavy production. But beyond the sonics, the visual presentation was equally captivating. Tyla brought serious style to the stadium in a sporty-chic ensemble: a cropped white and blue star-spangled top paired with oversized cobalt blue velvet trousers and crisp white flats. Her voluminous curls were swept up in a half-up style that perfectly complemented her midriff-baring look. Future, meanwhile, turned heads in a dazzling red and silver sequinned varsity jacket with classic stripe detailing, keeping things simple underneath with black wide-leg trousers and white trainers. The coordinated aesthetic extended to the background dancers, who wore matching gold and black graphic tracksuits that tied the entire visual together.
From the synchronized choreography to the meticulously planned wardrobe choices, every element of this performance was designed to create a moment worthy of football’s biggest tournament. The SoFi crowd got exactly what they came for—world-class artistry setting the tone before kickoff. Whether you’re tuning in for the matches or the stadium spectacles, this World Cup is delivering on every front.
