After being honored as Manager of the Year at the 2025 Ballon d’Or, England women’s coach Sarina Wiegman gave a lighthearted shoutout to Nigerian music star Burna Boy, saying, “If Burna Boy is around, maybe we could do a little bit of dancing too!”
Her comment referred to their memorable encounter during England’s Women’s Euro victory parade, when Burna Boy surprised Wiegman with a live performance of his hit “For My Hand,” prompting the coach to join in the celebrations with dancing and singing.
Burna Boy responded on X, writing: “Haha, I’m up for it Sarina! A huge congrats to you and the team @Lionesses.” Fans reacted enthusiastically, excited at the prospect of another fun dance moment between the two.
Wiegman’s playful nod highlights the growing intersection of sports and global music, demonstrating how celebratory moments can create lasting memories beyond the field.
