Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Damini Ogulu, widely known as Burna Boy, is set to headline the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Fan Zone concert finale in Rabat, Morocco, on Friday, January 16.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) confirmed the announcement earlier through its official social media platforms.
Burna Boy is expected to electrify fans with a selection of his chart-topping hits and signature high-energy stage presence.
He will be joined by other prominent African and international acts, including Stormzy, Stonebwoy, and Jaylann, as the music celebration coincides with the closing stages of the continental football tournament.
The 2025 AFCON kicked off on December 21, 2025, with a star-studded opening ceremony in Rabat that featured performances by Nigerian superstar Davido, alongside French Montana and RedOne.
The musical display preceded Morocco’s opening match against Comoros at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium.
On the football front, Nigeria will battle Egypt in the third-place playoff on Saturday, January 17, while hosts Morocco are set to clash with Senegal in the tournament final on Sunday, January 18.
Videos circulating online capture Burna Boy’s arrival and journey to Morocco ahead of the highly anticipated performance.
