Kenyan singer Sofiya Nzau is about to be heard by millions around the world, as her music takes center stage in the official soundtrack of EA Sports FC 2026, one of the most anticipated football video games of the year.
This milestone marks a stunning breakthrough for Nzau, whose unique fusion of traditional Kikuyu sounds with modern electronic beats has already been captivating audiences globally. With past collaborations alongside international producers like Diplo and Marush, she has steadily carved her name into the global music scene.
EA Sports, the powerhouse behind global franchises like FIFA, NBA Live, and Madden NFL, has chosen Nzau’s track to energize players while navigating menus, building teams, and competing in-game. This inclusion positions her alongside global superstars such as Bad Bunny, Rema, Tems, and Central Cee.
“Being part of this game is a dream come true. It’s not just about me — it’s about putting Kenyan music on the world map,” Nzau said, celebrating this historic moment for Kenyan artistry.
EA Sports FC 2026 is played by millions worldwide, and past soundtracks have propelled artists like K’naan, Stromae, and Rosalía to international fame. Sofiya Nzau’s voice will now echo across consoles, proving that Kenyan music is ready to conquer the global stage.
This milestone comes just weeks after Sofiya Nzau became the first Kenyan artist to grace the stage at Tomorrowland, one of the world’s biggest electronic music festivals, during her debut European tour in July.
At Tomorrowland, she shared the spotlight with global EDM icons like Steve Aoki, solidifying her status as one of Kenya’s brightest exports to the international music scene.
Her rise didn’t stop there—Nzau also electrified over 15,000 fans at Germany’s Open Beatz Festival, while her collaboration with German producer Avaion, titled Wacuka, recently surpassed 60 million streams on Spotify, cementing her growing influence and global appeal.
