Shakira presented “Dai Dai”, the official song of the 2026 World Cup

Shakira will once again be one of the main protagonists of the World Cup and will be in charge of the official song for the 2026 edition. The Colombian artist announced that her new song, entitled “Dai Dai”, will be the anthem of the tournament that will be held in the United States, Mexico

and Canada.

The announcement was made through a video released on their social networks, recorded at the Maracaná Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. “From the Maracaná Stadium, here is 'Dai Dai', the Official Song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Coming soon on 14/5. We are ready! “, Shakira said when sharing the teaser, confirming that the full release will be in the

coming days.

In the presentation, the singer is dressed in the colors of Brazil, appears on the field with the official ball of the contest and stars in a choreography with dancers who represent different national teams.

The latter generated controversy, since in the case of Argentina, who wears the national team jersey, he is a man with a black complexion, a decision that does not represent the country.

Leaving this aside, the theme, which will feature the collaboration of the Nigerian artist Burna Boy, combines a Caribbean rhythm with lyrics in English and starts with the classic "Oe, oe, oe “, in a clear quest to capture the festive and global spirit of the World Cup

.

It should be remembered that this will not be the first time that the Colombian has been linked to a World Cup. In South Africa, 2010 marked an era with his iconic “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”, one of the most memorable football anthems. In turn, she also participated in Germany 2006 with "Hips Don't Lie/Bamboo" during the closing ceremony and Brazil 2014 with "La La La”

.

In this way, Shakira reinforces her historic connection with the most important soccer tournament and once again gives voice to a World Cup, in the run-up to an edition that promises to be one of the greatest in history.
