According to CAF Online, the AFCON opening ceremony lineup is built around a “Le Show” production featuring major international and African acts tied to the tournament launch.
Reports say Davido is among the headline performers, alongside other global names, framing the opener as both a football spectacle and a cultural export moment for Afrobeats.
For Nigerian pop culture, this kind of slot is more than clout—it’s brand visibility to a pan-African TV audience, with tourism and streaming bumps often following.
ARISE News described the bill as “Davido, French Montana, RedOne headline” the show, while Punch also reported the star-studded plan for the opening ceremony.
Echotitbits take: Watch how Nigeria’s creative industry institutions leverage this—sync licensing, diaspora promotions, and tour routing. If handled well, AFCON visibility can convert into long-tail revenue.
