South African music sensation Moonchild Sanelly has scored yet another major international milestone. The singer and dancer, known for her electric personality and signature blue hair, has revealed that she is officially part of the upcoming FIFA 2026 project.

“I’m at sound check at Birmingham and on my way, I found out that I’m part of Fifa 2026 as well. If you know your maths, you’ll know that I have double history and number two you’ll know that I have four songs on Fifa, if you know your maths, keep counting,” she proudly said in the video.
Born Sanelisiwe Twisha in the Eastern Cape, the 37-year-old has made a name for herself worldwide with her bold artistry and self-created music genre, “Future Ghetto Funk.” Her music blends energy, innovation, and unapologetic expression, making her one of South Africa’s most unique exports.
According to Daily Sun, Moonchild’s impressive discography includes both solo hits and international collaborations. She has worked with major artists such as DJ Tira and Busiswa on Midnight, Beyoncé on MY POWER for The Lion King: The Gift album, and global icons Gorillaz. Some of her biggest tracks include Askies, iWalk Ye Phara, NdiKuze, and Ur Sheetee, which continue to showcase her versatility.
This announcement only adds to her long list of global achievements. Moonchild has already performed on some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including Primavera Sound in Barcelona, SXSW in Texas, and popular UK festivals like Glastonbury and Boardmasters. Back in 2018, she even joined the South African hip-hop group Die Antwoord for a European tour, further solidifying her international appeal.
Being part of FIFA 2026 is a clear sign of her unstoppable momentum. With four of her songs already linked to FIFA, her growing footprint in the football world is undeniable.
