Tyla adds another major milestone to her rising global career after being named among the headline performers for the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony in Mexico.
South Africa (11 May 2026) – On 11 June, the eyes of the world will turn to Mexico City as the FIFA World Cup 2026
officially gets underway with a landmark opening ceremony set to blend football, music, culture, and global unity on one of sport’s biggest stages.
Staged 90 minutes before kick-off at Mexico City Stadium, the ceremony will set the tone for a tournament that spans Canada, Mexico, and the United States. It will also mark the symbolic start of a month-long celebration that will feature 104 matches across 16 Host Cities, culminating in the final on 19 July at New York New Jersey Stadium.
Headlining the line-up are some of Latin America and the world’s most recognisable names in music, including Alejandro Fernández, Belinda, Danny Ocean, J Balvin, Lila Downs, Los Ángeles Azules and Maná. Our very own Tyla brings a strong international crossover element to the event. She has continued to rise on the global stage in recent years, with her music earning her widespread recognition and award success. She has already won two Grammy Awards, cementing her status as one of the most talked-about voices.
The ceremony itself is expected to combine live music, dance, and visual storytelling, featuring both internationally known performers and local Mexican talent. Organisers have emphasised that the show will spotlight cultural identity as much as global entertainment, creating a shared moment ahead of the first match.
South Africa will also take centre stage on the pitch, playing the opening match of the tournament against Mexico.
