Nora Fatehi performs at the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony in Toronto, Canada, as part of a star-studded lineup alongside other artists. Multiple outlets report that Fatehi took the stage at Toronto Stadium (BMO Field/BMO Field reports) with an energetic performance of “Siir Siir,” a track inspired by stadium chants she previously heard at AFCON matches in Morocco. Sources say she performs alongside international collaborators, including Vegedream and Sanjoy, with additional artists also appearing during the opening festivities. Other performers mentioned across reports include Canadian singers Jessie Reyez and Alessia Cara, and the ceremony includes a tribute themed around Indigenous heritage and Canada’s multicultural identity.
Fatehi discusses the event as a personal “homecoming” to Toronto, where she previously lived, and describes the opportunity as groundbreaking due to the scale of the World Cup and sharing the platform with major global stars, including Shakira and Burna Boy (other locations’ ceremonies are referenced). Separate reporting also notes that the broader opening ceremony faced online backlash due to technical glitches, including issues involving a giant inflatable trophy prop and some reportedly empty seats seen on television.
