Nora Fatehi performs at the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony in Toronto, Canada, delivering the song “Siir Siir” as part of the tournament’s entertainment program. Multiple outlets report that Fatehi shares the stage with artists including Vegedream and Sanjoy, while other performers take part in the wider ceremony. Times of India and other reports say the event also includes appearances by singers such as Jessie Reyez and Alessia Cara, and features a tribute connected to Canada’s Indigenous heritage and the host country’s multicultural theme.
In interviews and coverage about her participation, Fatehi describes the Toronto performance as personal and a “homecoming,” and she discusses how she connected the chant she heard from fans in Morocco to the “Siir Siir” World Cup anthem concept. Other sources note that Shakira, Burna Boy, Katy Perry and other international acts headline opening events in different host locations, indicating a multi-country entertainment rollout.
Separately, Free Press Journal also reports online criticism around some ceremony details, including images showing empty seats and a malfunction involving a large inflatable trophy prop. The reports agree that Fatehi’s performance becomes a viral highlight across social media, and some outlets tie her appearance to broader public attention and media coverage after the ceremony.
