Nigerian superstar Burna Boy stunned fans with a live performance at the England Lionesses’ welcome party after their WEUROS 2025 win. Held at Buckingham Palace, the event celebrated the team’s hard-earned championship title. Coach Sarina Wiegman, a huge Burna Boy fan, couldn’t hide her excitement as the African Giant took the stage, making the night unforgettable for players and supporters alike.
The Lionesses’ journey to the WEUROS title was a test of skill and determination. In the knockout phase, they first faced Sweden, securing a narrow win through sharp teamwork and a late goal. Next, they met Italy in a tense match, where their defense held strong against relentless attacks, clinching victory with a single, well-timed strike. The final against Spain pushed them to the limit. After a deadlock in regular time, the Lionesses triumphed in a dramatic penalty shootout, sealing their second straight WEUROS crown and proving their dominance in women’s football.
Wiegman’s love for Burna Boy added a unique twist to the story. Before the final, the team shared on BBC’s Tooney Russo show that their coach is hooked on Nigerian music, especially Burna Boy’s hits. This personal detail brought the squad closer, and her joy at seeing him perform live became a highlight of the celebration.
The Birmingham Palace party buzzed with energy as fans cheered the Lionesses’ success. Burna Boy’s set had everyone dancing, blending football pride with musical flair. The event capped a historic win, uniting cultures and showcasing the team’s grit and spirit on and off the pitch. (BusinessDay)
