LISA brought “Goals” to the FIFA World Cup 2026 Los Angeles opening ceremony, performing the official album track with Anitta and Rema at SoFi Stadium on June 12, 2026 local time. The LISA World Cup appearance formed part of the United States opening ceremony held before the U.S. match against Paraguay in Los Angeles.1
The performance followed FIFA’s earlier announcement that “Goals,” featuring LISA, Anitta and Rema, had been released as a new track from the Official FIFA World Cup 2026™ Album. The song was positioned as a cross-genre collaboration combining K-pop, Latin pop and Afrobeats elements, with its first live performance scheduled for the Los Angeles opening ceremony.2
LISA’s ‘Goals’ Stage at SoFi Stadium

News1 reported that LISA appeared at the U.S. opening ceremony at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and performed “Goals” with Anitta and Rema. The stage placed the three artists on the field, where they completed the performance in front of a large trophy structure at the center of the ground.1
The Los Angeles ceremony was not a standalone concert but part of the wider FIFA World Cup 2026 opening program in North America. FIFA’s June 10 update listed Katy Perry, Future, Anitta, LISA, Rema and Tyla among the additional talent for the Los Angeles ceremonies, confirming that the event would take place on June 12 before the United States versus Paraguay match.3
The Times of India also reported that the Los Angeles opening ceremony was held before the U.S.-Paraguay game and included performances by LISA, Anitta, Future and Tyla. Its coverage identified “Goals” as part of the ceremony and noted that Future and Tyla performed “Game Time.”4
For LISA, the appearance connected her solo activity directly to one of the tournament’s official music projects. The track’s placement on the Official FIFA World Cup 2026™ Album meant the performance was tied to FIFA’s tournament branding rather than an unrelated guest stage. FIFA described the collaboration as bringing together artists associated with three major pop markets and musical styles.2
How ‘Goals’ Reached the Opening Ceremony
FIFA announced on May 20, 2026 that LISA, Anitta and Rema had debuted “Goals” for the Official FIFA World Cup 2026™ Album, with a performance planned for the opening ceremony in Los Angeles. The announcement stated that the song would be performed live for the first time at Los Angeles Stadium on June 12.2
Korean coverage ahead of the event also tracked the rollout. Edaily reported that BLACKPINK’s LISA had joined the official World Cup album through “Goals,” a new single with Anitta and Rema. The report said the song was released on major music platforms and with an official music video on May 22, 2026, and described the track as combining Latin pop, Afrobeats and K-pop elements.5
FIFA’s release included short artist comments on the collaboration. LISA said, “Being a part of the Official FIFA World Cup Album this year has been so exciting.”2 Anitta described her connection to the World Cup as “deeply emotional,” while Rema called the three-continent collaboration “a big moment for music on the world stage.”2
Those comments framed “Goals” as a tournament-linked release before the performance took place. By June 12 in Los Angeles, the track had moved from album rollout and video release to a stadium presentation during the tournament’s U.S. opening ceremony. The timeline is notable because the public release, official lineup confirmation and live performance all occurred within a short period between late May and mid-June.
Lineup Context for the Los Angeles Ceremony
The Los Angeles event was one of the major ceremony moments connected to FIFA World Cup 2026 across the host region. The Times of India reported that the Los Angeles celebration followed opening ceremonies in Mexico and Canada, describing it as the third major opening celebration linked to the tournament.4
FIFA’s June 10 lineup update placed LISA alongside several international names. Katy Perry, Future, Anitta, LISA, Rema and Tyla were named in the Los Angeles ceremony announcement, while the “Goals” performance specifically connected LISA with Anitta and Rema.3
StarNews reported before the ceremony that rehearsal footage of LISA had appeared on X and TikTok, and that she was preparing to perform “Goals” with Anitta and Rema at the SoFi Stadium opening ceremony. The same report listed Katy Perry, Tyla and Future among other acts associated with the event.6
The reporting after the ceremony confirmed the key outcome: “Goals” was performed on the field at the Los Angeles opening ceremony, and LISA’s appearance became part of the official entertainment program surrounding the U.S. match. The available source material does not provide full running order details, broadcast ratings or backstage information, so the confirmed focus remains the song, venue, participating artists and tournament context.

The “Goals” stage marked the live arrival of a FIFA World Cup 2026 album track at the Los Angeles ceremony. Based on the official FIFA announcements and event-day reports, LISA’s role was centered on performing “Goals” with Anitta and Rema at SoFi Stadium as part of the tournament’s U.S. opening program.
