Sarina Wiegman Surprised by Burna Boy at Lionesses’ Euro Victory Parade

 

England’s Lionesses returned to a hero’s welcome after winning the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 in dramatic fashion. The team landed back in the UK just hours after beating Spain in a tense penalty shootout in Basel, Switzerland. Their triumph marks a historic milestone as the first time any England football team men or women has won back-to-back major international tournaments and done so on foreign soil. Thousands of fans lined the streets of London as the squad paraded in an open-top bus, celebrating their hard-earned victory. Among the festivities, manager Sarina Wiegman became the centre of attention after being surprised by her favourite music artist, Burna Boy. The Grammy-winning Nigerian singer took to the stage at Buckingham Palace during the team’s victory party. Wiegman, known for her calm and composed style, was visibly shocked and delighted when Burna Boy appeared. Presenter Alex Scott built up the surprise by referencing Wiegman’s past reluctance to dance at previous celebrations, saying the music hadn’t been right until now. As Burna Boy walked out, Wiegman gasped, ran to hug him, and finally broke into a dance to his hit song For Your Hand.

Sarina Wiegman’s emotional reaction to Burna Boy’s surprise appearance captured the joy and celebration of the Lionesses’ Euro 2025 victory. The Dutch coach, a longtime fan of Burna Boy’s music, had previously cited For Your Hand as one of her most-listened-to songs. Her reaction hands on head, stunned expression, and joyful dancing summed up the historic and emotional journey of the squad. Burna Boy, who boasts over 25 million monthly Spotify listeners, performed live as the team and crowd celebrated their back-to-back European titles. With Wiegman dancing beside him, arm-in-arm, fans got a rare, heartfelt moment from the usually composed coach. Chloe Kelly, who famously scored the winning penalty, also added to the celebratory chaos by dropping an unfiltered F-bomb during the festivities to the crowd’s delight. The entire parade, filled with music, laughter, and pure elation, served as a well-deserved tribute to a team that’s redefined women’s football in England. This moment wasn’t just about lifting a trophy it was about the impact the Lionesses have had on the sport, the pride they’ve brought to their country, and the joy they continue to spread. With Sarina Wiegman leading the charge and icons like Burna Boy celebrating alongside them, it was a victory parade few will ever forget.
