Tyla has been named as one of the artists who will perform at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in Mexico next month. The ceremony will take place 90 minutes before the first match, between Bafana Bafana and Mexico, which will be held at the venue. Performers include a host of Latino artists like J Balvin, Danny Ocean and Lila Downs.
Adding some South African spice is Tyla – full name Tyla Seethal – who has also been announced as a headline act. Apart from Tyla, all eyes will be on Bafana Bafana, who have qualified to play at the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
In 2010, South Africa was granted eligibility as a host country of the tournament – which this year will take place in Canada, Mexico and the US – the first time three countries have ever hosted the event. The World Cup will take place between 11 June and 19 July. A total of 48 countries will participate, with 104 matches across 16 stadiums.
South Africa is scheduled to play three group stage matches against Mexico, Czechia and South Korea on 11, 18 and 25 June. Bafana Bafana has never progressed past the group stage of the tournament. Before the FIFA World Cup kicks off, the original squad from the 2010 South Africa vs Mexico opening match, which took place at Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium (formerly Soccer City), will play a friendly match.
