The 2022 FIFA World Cup is set to hold in Qatar from Sunday, November 20 to Sunday, December 18, 2022.
This is a dream come true for the singer as he once tweeted in June about his wish to perform at the World Cup.
Kizz Daniel has earned his mark in the industry as a viral hitmaker.
His single, “Buga”, which he features Tecno, garnered recognition from around the world as world leaders and celebrities joined in the viral Buga Challenge. The single interestingly has been ‘hyjacked’by even politicians in a hurry to display perceived surpremacy over their opponents on one hand and their popularity on the other.
The Eagles were a delight to watch at the last world cup in Russia despite first round exit. The team dazzled with special outfit that tickled the fancy of many. But the team this time failed to qualify after posting poor run in two legged play-off against Black Stars of Ghana.
