At the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony, England women’s football coach Sarina Wiegman, fresh off being named Manager of the Year, made a playful and memorable reference to Nigerian music star Burna Boy.
“If Burna Boy is around, maybe we could do a little bit of dancing too!” Wiegman said, sparking a reaction from the audience and fans online.
Her comment was a direct nod to their viral moment during the celebration of England’s Women’s Euro victory. At the time, Burna Boy surprised Wiegman with a live performance of his hit song “For My Hand,” and the coach famously joined in the celebration with dancing and singing.
Burna Boy quickly responded to her remark on X, writing, “Haha, I’m up for it Sarina! A huge congrats to you and the team @Lionesses.” The interaction has delighted fans, who are now anticipating another fun dance moment between the two.
