The biggest football championship in history is planned to be a watershed moment for future World Cups and FIFA-sponsored events, and rumors are growing day by day that Lady Gaga and The Weeknd will collaborate on the tournament&#8217;s official song.<\/p>\n<p>Although there has been no official statement from FIFA or both singers yet, rumors of a collaboration between the two great musicians have been expected for a long time, and in December 2025, a Canadian&#8217;s Instagram story fueled the rumors.<\/p>\n<p>The famous artist has deleted all posts on his Instagram account and only shared old photos of Lady Gaga on his Instagram Stories, sparking speculation that a new collaboration between the two is on the horizon. The story the singer uploaded dates from the time of Gaga&#8217;s album &#8220;The Fame&#8221; and features her appearing in front of a black Lexus car with the license plate &#8220;LADYGAGA.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The singer only commented in a later interview, &#8220;I love Abel. That&#8217;s all I have to say. I&#8217;m a big Abel fan!&#8221; This left all the singer&#8217;s fans with more questions.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Are you ready for the opening game of the 2026 World Cup?<\/h2>\n<p>It is not yet clear who will perform the official song for the 2026 World Cup, but Mexico City is preparing to host hundreds of spectators hoping to attend the opening match between the Mexican and South African national teams. Estadio Azteca, which will be named Estadio Ciudad de Mexico during the 2026 World Cup, continues to undergo major renovations in preparation for the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the progress on site is constantly shown on video, in reality it seems to be taking longer than it should.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/world-cup\/2026\/01\/06\/695cef5846163f1c288b4579.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>aAmerican singer Lady Gaga and Canadian actor and singer The Weeknd are at the center of rumors that they will collaborate on the next official song for the 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada.
