Burna Boy Reacts Following Sarina Wiegman’s Comment That She’d Like To Dance With Him

England women’s coach Sarina Wiegman brought some unexpected fun to the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony with a lighthearted acknowledgement of Nigerian superstar Burna Boy.

Wiegman concluded her Women’s Coach of the Year acceptance speech with a lighthearted comment, saying, “Perhaps we could do a little dance if Burna Boy is present.” The moment was met with laughter from the crowd and rapidly gained widespread attention online, generating enthusiasm among both football and music enthusiasts.

Burna Boy quickly replied to Sarina Wiegman. On Monday, September 22, he tweeted: “I’m up for it, Sarina!” Huge congrats to you and the team @Lionesses. His reply has since generated excitement about the possibility that the lighthearted exchange could lead to a larger opportunity, such as a stage appearance or collaborative project.

Wiegman’s comment follows a significant year for her and the Lionesses. England won Euro 2025 in Switzerland, with a 3-1 victory in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw after extra time, marking the team’s second European championship after their success in 2022.

The Ballon d’Or ceremony also saw significant victories for the Lionesses. Goalkeeper Hannah Hampton received the Yashin Trophy, with Alessia Russo, Chloe Kelly, Leah Williamson, Lucy Bronze, and Hampton herself ranking in the top 10 for Women’s Player of the Year. Arsenal was named Women’s Club of the Year.

Fans are excited about the possibility of seeing Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning Afrobeats artist, and the coach of a team that won a title, share a lighthearted moment together.
