England women’s head coach Sarina Wiegman brought unexpected energy to the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony. After accepting the Women’s Coach of the Year award, she surprised fans with a lighthearted nod to Nigerian music star Burna Boy.
She ended her speech playfully:
“If Burna Boy is around, maybe we could do a little bit of dancing too!”
The comment drew immediate laughter from the crowd. Within hours, it spread like wildfire across social media.
Burna Boy Responds Swiftly
Burna Boy wasted no time joining in on the fun. On Monday, September 22, he replied on X (formerly Twitter):
“Haha, I’m up for it Sarina! A huge congrats to you and the team @Lionesses.”
Fans loved it. The exchange quickly sparked rumors about a possible stage appearance or future collaboration between the two stars.
A Year to Remember for Wiegman and the Lionesses
Wiegman’s shoutout followed a historic year for the England Lionesses. She led her team to victory at Euro 2025 in Switzerland. England beat Spain 3-1 on penalties after a tight 1-1 draw in extra time.
This marks Wiegman’s second European title with England, following their 2022 win. Her leadership continues to define a golden era for English women’s football.
