Another proud moment for African music on the global stage!
Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy took centre stage at the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony in London, presenting the prestigious Sócrates Award to Arsenal and England star Bukayo Saka.
The award recognises outstanding humanitarian contributions, with Saka honoured for supporting life-changing medical procedures for children in Nigeria and other African countries.
During the ceremony, Burna Boy also spoke about his football academy in Nigeria and his dream of seeing one of its players recognised on the Ballon d’Or stage someday.
Two global stars with Nigerian roots. One remarkable moment celebrating impact beyond entertainment and football!
