Davido is heading back into World Cup territory, this time as part of the official FIFA World Cup 2026 album with a new track titled “No Place Like Home.” The Nigerian superstar features on the song alongside Major Lazer and Nelly Furtado, adding another massive international collaboration to his catalog and extending his relationship with FIFA after performing at the 2022 World Cup closing ceremony.
According to the published tracklist shared by FIFA president Gianni Infantino, Davido’s “No Place Like Home” sits on the same project as Shakira and Burna Boy’s official anthem “Dai Dai,” Ayra Starr and Latto’s “Show Me,” and Rema’s “Goals” with LISA and Anitta. The announcement describes the lineup as an “extraordinarily strong music squad” built to reflect both the host nations—United States, Canada and Mexico—and global sounds like Afrobeats and Latin pop; more details on the album and Davido’s placement can be found here.
While the full song has yet to dominate playlists the way his solo singles do, the concept of “No Place Like Home” lines up neatly with Davido’s long‑running themes of diaspora, roots and pride in where you come from. Pairing him with Major Lazer’s global dance instincts and Nelly Furtado’s pop legacy sets the stage for a stadium‑sized record built for opening ceremonies, fan zones and broadcast montages.
For Davido, the 2026 album slot reinforces his position as one of the go‑to African voices when global events want a hit that carries both emotion and replay value. It follows his work on “Hayya Hayya (Better Together)” in 2022 and keeps him in step with peers like Burna Boy, who’s anchoring the official anthem, and Rema, who’s teaming up with stars from Brazil and K‑pop.
Nigerian outlets and fan pages have been quick to point out that having Davido, Burna Boy, Rema and Ayra Starr all on the same World Cup‑branded project is another milestone in Afrobeats’ takeover of major global stages.
