EA FC 25’s soundtrack notably includes the return of Afrobeats superstar Rema, who first made his appearance on the VOLTA Football soundtrack of the now-defunct FIFA 21 series.

But the “OZEBA,” crooner is not the only superstar flying the Afrobeats flag in the playlist.

In addition to Rema, the FC 25 soundtrack introduces two more influential Afrobeats artists to the lineup.

As predicted by Pulse Sports, Benin’s very own Shallipopi makes his debut in EA Sports' playlist, following his notable collaboration with Rema on the track “BENIN BOYS” from Rema's 2024 album, “HEIS.”

Shallipopi's inclusion represents a fresh addition to the soundtrack, showcasing his unique style and expanding the game’s musical landscape.

Furthermore, Afrobeats megastar Omah Lay also makes his first appearance on an EA Sports soundtrack with his 2024 hit single “Moving.”
