FIFA has officially unveiled “Dai Dai” as the official song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, featuring Colombian singer Shakira and Nigerian music star Burna Boy.
In a statement released on Friday, FIFA described the track as a celebration of football, culture and global unity, blending the musical styles and energy of both artistes ahead of the tournament.
“Dai Dai brings together the global sounds and energy of Shakira and Burna Boy in a vibrant celebration of football, culture and unity,” FIFA said.
Shakira had earlier hinted at the collaboration in May when she shared a teaser clip of the song on social media, announcing it as the official soundtrack for the 2026 World Cup.
FIFA also confirmed that royalties generated from the song on streaming platforms will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, an initiative aimed at expanding access to education for children worldwide.
The announcement comes shortly after FIFA revealed plans for a star-studded half-time show during the World Cup final in New Jersey on July 19, with Madonna, Shakira and K-pop group BTS expected to perform.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
