Kylian Mbappe Comments on Nora Fatehi Performing Siir Siir at the FIFA World Cup Opening Match in Canada
Nora Fatehi’s performance with Vegedream and Sanjoy drew cheers from thousands and sent clips viral across social media.
- On Friday, Canadian-born actress and dancer Nora Fatehi performed her FIFA World Cup anthem "Siir Siir" at Toronto Stadium during the opening ceremony preceding the Canada Group B soccer match.
- Reflecting on the event, Fatehi told ABC News Live the performance marked a "homecoming" after leaving Toronto years ago to pursue her career in India as an entertainer.
- Fatehi performed alongside French singer Vegedream and producer Sanjoy, with hundreds of dancers joining the stage; the anthem's title derives from a Moroccan chant meaning "go, go," blending Arabic, English, French, and Moroccan Darija.
- The Toronto event was one of three separate opening ceremonies across host nations; Katy Perry headlined the United States ceremony in Los Angeles while Shakira and Burna Boy performed in Mexico City.
- This FIFA World Cup is the largest edition to date, featuring 48 teams competing across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with the tournament concluding on July 19, 2026.
