(Patria) - Just a few weeks before the start of the biggest sporting spectacle on the planet, pop superstar Shakira and Nigerian sensation Burna Boy have presented 'Dai Dai' – the official song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

With this single, Shakira continues her legendary connection with the World Cup, which began in 2010 with the unforgettable hit 'Waka Waka'.

"The World Cup starts now!"

The Colombian singer confirmed the song's release on Friday, sharing her excitement with millions of followers on social media.

"'Dai Dai' is here. The FIFA World Cup 2026 starts now!", Shakira announced, along with a snippet of the song that immediately went viral.

FIFA described the song as a vibrant fusion of global sounds and energy that celebrates football, cultural diversity, and unity. It is particularly significant that all copyright revenue will directly support the FIFA Global Fund for Citizen Education.

A spectacle in three countries with 48 teams

The expanded 2026 World Cup will be historic in many ways. For the first time, 48 national teams will participate, and the tournament will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The first match is scheduled for June 11, and judging by the initial reactions to 'Dai Dai', the rhythms that will accompany the world's best footballers have already won over the audience.
