At the glittering Ballon d’Or 2025 ceremony tonight, Sarina Wiegman, head coach of the England women’s national team, delivered a lighthearted yet memorable acceptance speech after being crowned Manager of the Year.
In her address, Wiegman thanked her players, staff, and supporters for their dedication before adding a playful twist that instantly lit up the audience.
“If Burna Boy is around, maybe we could do a little bit of dancing too!” she quipped, drawing cheers and laughter from the crowd.
The remark referenced Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy, whose global music influence has made him a frequent presence at major international events.
The line has since gone viral, with fans flooding social media to celebrate the crossover moment between football and Afrobeats culture. Some are even speculating that a surprise Burna Boy performance could be part of the after-party celebrations.
Wiegman’s win solidifies her place among football’s greatest tacticians, while her Burna Boy shout-out adds a cultural touch that has Nigerians and Afrobeats lovers buzzing with pride.
