While shooting for kanchana 4 alongside pooja hegde, nora fatehi has now added another massive achievement to her growing international journey. The actor-performer is officially set to sing and perform at the opening ceremony of the FIFA world cup 2026, scheduled to take place on june 12, 2026, at BMO Field.
And this is not just another stage show.
The FIFA world cup remains one of the biggest entertainment platforms on Earth, and Nora’s inclusion in the lineup places her among a huge roster of global music names, including Alanis Morissette, Alessia Cara, Elyanna, Jessie Reyez, Michael Bublé, Vegedream, and William Prince. Meanwhile, the USA ceremony lineup reportedly includes international stars like Katy Perry, Lisa, Rema, Tyla, Future, and Anitta.
Nora herself called the moment an honour, sharing the official announcement on instagram and celebrating her return to the FIFA stage. This marks her second major FIFA association after contributing hindi vocals to the 2022 world cup anthem “Light The Sky” and later performing it live at the closing ceremony in Qatar.
What makes this even more interesting for indian cinema fans is the timing. While pooja hegde and Nora are currently collaborating on kanchana 4, Nora is simultaneously expanding into a genuinely global entertainment space — something very few Indian-linked performers have managed at this scale.
From bollywood dance floors to the world’s biggest football stage, Nora Fatehi’s international momentum just got even bigger.
