Shakira, Burna Boy drop official FIFA World Cup 2026 song 'Dai Dai'

FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) has officially confirmed that “Dai Dai,” featuring Colombian singer Shakira and Nigerian artist Burna Boy, will be the official song for the World Cup 2026.

The announcement was made on Friday, with FIFA describing the track as a celebration of football, culture and global unity through music.

The release marks Shakira’s return to football’s biggest stage more than a decade after her iconic 2010 World Cup anthem Waka Waka (This Time for Africa), widely regarded as one of the most memorable songs in tournament history.

“Dai Dai” blends multiple musical influences, including Afrobeats, dance-pop, reggaetón and world beats to create an energetic and uplifting soundtrack ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

The nearly four-minute track also carries motivational themes aimed at players and football fans around the world.

FIFA confirmed that the song has been released across major global streaming platforms, while proceeds from royalties will contribute to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which supports educational initiatives worldwide.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 will be jointly hosted by the United States of America (USA), Canada and Mexico from
11 Jun to 19 July.
