Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk has unveiled his top tracks for the EFL Carabao Cup Final 2024, showcasing tunes from Nigerian talents Omah Lay, Asake, and Rema. The playlist, featured on the EFL’s TikTok page, also highlights tracks by The Notorious B.I.G and Mase, marking the sole non-Nigerian artists in the lineup.

Explaining his musical choices, the Dutch defender emphasized his penchant for uplifting vibes, particularly those found in Afrobeats.

“Hey there, I’m Virgil Van Dijk, and these are my top five tracks for the moment.

“First up, we’ve got Omah Lay with ‘Holy Ghost.’ Absolutely dope! It’s got that vibe that keeps you going. Next, we’re diving into a classic with Mase’s ‘Feel So Good.’ It’s just unbelievable! Then, we’re grooving to The Notorious B.I.G’s ‘Mo Money Mo Problems.’ Can’t beat those smooth vibes, you know?

“Now, for number four, we’ve got Asake with ‘Lonely At The Top.’ Such a nice one, perfect for those sunny days. And finally, we’re wrapping it up with Rema’s ‘Charm.’ Really nice track.

“You’ll notice a lot of Afrobeats in there because I’m all about those good vibes, especially with the sun shining, smiles all around, and hopefully, a win at the Carabao Cup Final.”
