Nigeria’s music stars continue to play leading roles in global events, with Davido announced as one of the headline acts for FIFA’s Countdown Concert in Los Angeles in the build-up to the 2026 World Cup.
The Grammy-nominated Afrobeats star will perform at the June 10 event at the Crypto.com Arena, one of three simultaneous concerts taking place across the tournament’s host nations — the United States, Canada and Mexico — as FIFA ramps up excitement ahead of the biggest World Cup in history.
Davido will share the spotlight with Major Lazer at the Los Angeles show, which FIFA says will be broadcast globally.
“On June 10, the FIFA Countdown Concert in collaboration with the Grammys comes to Crypto.com Arena, featuring performances by Diplo’s Major Lazer, Davido, and more special guests to be announced soon,” the football governing body stated on its Fifaworldcup Instagram page.
The announcement marks another milestone in Davido’s long-standing relationship with FIFA.
In 2022, he featured on Hayya Hayya (Better Together), the first official soundtrack of the Qatar World Cup, before performing at the tournament’s closing ceremony.
His selection for the countdown concert reflects not only his global appeal but also the growing influence of Afrobeats on the international stage.
