“Dai Dai,” the official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Shakira and Burna Boy have teamed up for “Dai Dai,” the official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Released globally on streaming platforms, the track is positioned as a celebration of the tournament’s international spirit, blending Latin pop and Afrobeats while incorporating lyrics in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French and Japanese. FIFA also confirmed that royalties from the song will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise $100 million for children’s education and football opportunities.

The song draws heavily on the familiar ingredients of classic World Cup anthems, combining uplifting lyrics, references to legendary footballers and shout-outs to competing nations. Its title, “Dai Dai,” comes from an Italian expression meaning “come on, come on,” reinforcing the track’s energetic, rallying tone. The collaboration strategically unites two globally influential artists whose audiences span Latin America, Africa and beyond, reflecting FIFA’s effort to create a culturally expansive anthem with broad international appeal.

Shakira’s involvement continues her long association with World Cup music following hits like “Waka Waka,” while Burna Boy brings the global rise of Afrobeats into the tournament spotlight. Together, the artists deliver a cross-cultural collaboration designed not only to soundtrack the competition, but also to reinforce football’s role as a shared global experience.
