The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has unveiled the official song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup titled “Dai Dai” featuring an international collaboration between Nigerian superstar Burna Boy and Colombian global icon Shakira.
The announcement has sparked global excitement bringing together two of the world’s most influential music figures on a single anthem expected to define the tournament’s cultural identity.
“Dai Dai” is positioned as a cross-continental fusion of Afrofusion, Latin rhythms, and global pop influences. Burna Boy’s distinctive Afro-fusion sound blends with Shakira’s signature Latin-pop style, creating what FIFA describes as a unifying anthem celebrating diversity, football, and global unity.
The collaboration continues FIFA’s tradition of pairing the World Cup with high-profile musical projects designed to resonate with audiences worldwide.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, is already shaping up to be one of the most culturally expansive editions in the tournament’s history.
The official song is expected to play a central role in global promotional campaigns, stadium ceremonies, and broadcast packages leading up to and during the tournament.
With “Dai Dai,” FIFA continues its strategy of merging football with global entertainment, ensuring the World Cup remains not only a sporting spectacle but also a worldwide cultural event.
The anthem is expected to be released across major streaming platforms ahead of the tournament kickoff, with accompanying visuals and promotional performances anticipated in the coming months.
