Burna Boy stole the spotlight at the Lionesses’ Euro 2025 victory celebration held at Buckingham Palace, delivering a powerful and emotional performance that left the crowd buzzing. The Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar performed his hit track “For My Hand” featuring Ed Sheeran, igniting a wave of excitement among the 100,000 fans in attendance.
The Lionesses had just made history, winning the European Championship for the second time in a row by defeating Spain 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 tie in extra time. Their celebration turned into a memorable cultural moment as Burna Boy took center stage, energizing players and fans alike.
England’s head coach Sarina Wiegman, a passionate fan of Burna Boy, joined the celebration with visible joy, singing along and embracing the artist on stage. The heartfelt moment underscored the unity, spirit, and emotional depth of the event.
Former England star and TV pundit Alex Scott later confirmed Wiegman’s admiration, revealing, “Burna Boy is actually Sarina’s favourite artist.” That revelation added a personal layer to a night already filled with pride, joy, and celebration.
Burna Boy’s electrifying performance not only amplified the Lionesses’ historic achievement but also highlighted the global reach of African music and the unifying power of entertainment in sports celebrations.
