Overview
- Shakira, who shared a one-minute teaser Thursday from Rio’s Maracanã, confirmed “Dai Dai” as the official 2026 World Cup song with Burna Boy and set May 14 for the full release.
- The clip shows dancers in national colors, features the Trionda match ball, ends with the message “We’re ready,” and outlets describe the sound as a reggaetón-tinged Afrobeats blend.
- This is Shakira’s second official World Cup song after 2010’s “Waka Waka,” extending a tournament legacy that also includes performances tied to 2006 and 2014.
- Beyond the official anthem, FIFA is promoting a full tournament album led by March’s single “Lighter,” and Coca‑Cola has a separate branded anthem reimagining Van Halen’s “Jump” with J Balvin, Travis Barker, Amber Mark and Steve Vai.
- The 2026 World Cup runs June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Mexico and Canada, opening at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca and closing at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
