Burna Boy Shocks Sarina Wiegman at Euro 2025 Homecoming Ceremony
LONDON — England’s Lionesses received a hero’s welcome in London on 29 July 2025, and coach Sarina Wiegman got the surprise of a lifetime. While hosting the Euro 2025 trophy ceremony outside Buckingham Palace, Alex Scott introduced Grammy-winning afro-fusion star Burna Boy. That was when Wiegman, known for her usually composed demeanour, looked genuinely stunned letting out a loud “Oh no way!”
Burna Boy then stepped onto the stage, embraced the visibly emotional Wiegman, and launched into his hit “For My Hand.” Wiegman, who has publicly declared it her favourite track, joined in the performance and danced alongside the artist as her squad cheered behind them The unexpected moment elevated what was already a triumphant parade.
The open‑top bus procession started from The Mall and ended at the Queen Victoria Memorial, drawing around 65,000 fans to celebrate England’s dramatic penalty-shootout victory over Spain in the Euro final. Alongside music from Heather Small and other acts, Wiegman’s spontaneous dance with Burna Boy became the standout scene of the day
Reflecting on the moment, Wiegman admitted she felt flabbergasted but quickly chose to embrace it: “I like to dance and I love his music… I totally did not expect him,” she said, adding that fans “went out of their mind” after the surprise . Her uninhibited joy stood in sharp contrast to her more restrained appearance at the Euro 2022 celebration in Trafalgar Square, where she declined to dance *
In addition to Wiegman’s now‑legendary dance, other memorable moments included a tearful speech from captain Leah Williamson, an unscripted profane exclamation by Chloe Kelly, and representation of Lionesses history by Kerry Davis carrying the trophy on‑stage
