In a groundbreaking moment for both the music and sports worlds, Nigerian music sensation King Steve Benjamin took center stage at the prestigious 100th anniversary of Central Sports Club of the Army (CSKA) ceremony held in Russia showcasing the growing influence of Afrobeat on a global scale.

The club was Founded in 1911 as OLLS (Amateur Society of Skiing Sports), the club went through five name changes before becoming CSKA (Central Sports Club of the Army) in 1960, by which time they were already a force to be reckoned with. Having finished fourth in their debut Soviet Top League season in 1936, they triumphed in the USSR Cup in 1945 and followed that up with championship success 12 months later.

KSB, known for his chart-topping hits and infectious Afrobeat rhythms, delivered a mesmerizing performance of his global sensation ‘ *konto* ’ to an audience that included football legends, sports enthusiasts, and music aficionados. The young crooner’s appearance marked a significant moment, as it highlighted the already increasing synergy between music and sports, with Afrobeat in particular gaining prominence in sport locker rooms and worldwide.

Taking to his social media platforms after the exhilarating performance, KSB expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to represent Afrobeat on such a grand stage. He humbly attributed his success to divine grace, stating, “Afrobeat in CSK club! I’m truly grateful for the opportunity. Glory to the most high for the grace.”

KSB inclusion at the 100 years anniversary of CSKA symbolises the growing recognition of Afrobeat as a global music genre that resonates with diverse audiences. Videos of famous sport stars have been seen playing Afrobeats songs in the locker rooms after games or celebrating victories. Other Afrobeats artist Burna Boy early this year performed at the champions league final with the likes of Davido also performing at the World Cup. With the Super Bowl looming even closer, there is a possibility to have a themed Afrobeats Super Bowl halftime show which will be historic.
