Global superstar Shakira has officially introduced “Dai Dai,” the new anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, featuring Nigerian artist Burna Boy. Teased from Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Maracanã Stadium, the track promises a vibrant fusion of cultures ahead of the tournament hosted across North America.

The 49-year-old posted a video ‌on Instagram on Thursday from Brazil's Maracana stadium to tease the track, which features Nigerian singer ​Burna Boy. The song will be ​released on 14 May.

In the footage, the ⁠singer appears alongside a group of ​dancers dressed in the colours of several ​of the national teams taking part in the tournament, which will be held from June 11 to ​July 19 in Mexico, the United States ​and Canada.

The video also features the official match balls ‌from ⁠the 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cups, apparently referencing the tournaments in which Shakira played a prominent role musically.
