Global music icon Shakira has officially released the music video for “Dai Dai,” the official anthem of the FIFA World Cup 2026, in collaboration with Nigerian superstar Burna Boy.
The highly anticipated release instantly captured worldwide attention, blending football passion, cultural diversity, and global music influences into one spectacular production.
Through her official Instagram account, Shakira shared a teaser of the music video featuring dramatic stadium visuals and appearances from some of the biggest football stars on the planet.
“We’re ready! The official video for DAI DAI, the official song of the FIFA World Cup 2026, is out now,” Shakira wrote on Instagram.
Messi, Mbappé, and Haaland Open the Video
The four-minute music video begins with football icons Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Erling Haaland walking into a packed stadium while declaring, “We’re ready.”
The opening scene immediately sets the tone for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico in the summer of 2026.
“Dai Dai” combines African rhythms, Latin beats, and urban music elements, creating a powerful international sound that reflects the multicultural spirit of the tournament. The title itself comes from an Italian expression meaning “come on” or “let’s go.”
Directed by Hannah Lux Davis in Miami
The music video was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and filmed in Miami, Florida.
The clip opens with Shakira standing atop the iconic Angel of Independence monument in Mexico City before transitioning into breathtaking desert scenes where she dances alongside African children.
Later, Burna Boy appears performing his verse while Shakira stands on a glowing globe beneath a star-filled sky, symbolizing unity through music and sport.
The video then shifts into a vibrant football stadium sequence featuring dancers dressed in costumes inspired by the flags of participating nations in the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Tribute to Football Legends
One of the most emotional moments in the video is the tribute to football legends from past World Cups.
Archival footage highlights iconic names such as Diego Maradona, Paolo Maldini, Romário, Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Kaká, and Lionel Messi.
Shakira also highlights participating nations including Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, the United States, and the Netherlands throughout the visual production.
Shakira Returns to the World Cup Stage
“Dai Dai” marks the second time Shakira has performed an official FIFA World Cup anthem. She previously achieved global success with “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” the unforgettable song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
That track became one of the most-streamed and recognizable football songs in history, helping cement Shakira’s legacy as one of football’s most iconic musical voices.
Many fans and music critics believe “Dai Dai” could become another global phenomenon ahead of the 2026 tournament.
FIFA World Cup 2026 Schedule
The FIFA World Cup 2026 is scheduled to begin on June 11, 2026, at Estadio Azteca and conclude on July 19, 2026, at MetLife Stadium, which will temporarily be renamed New York New Jersey Stadium during the tournament.
This edition of the World Cup will make history as the first tournament featuring 48 national teams and hosted across three countries simultaneously.
Shakira to Perform at the World Cup Final Halftime Show
In addition to releasing the official anthem, Shakira is also expected to headline the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Halftime Show alongside global music stars Madonna and BTS.
The collaboration is already being described as one of the biggest entertainment spectacles ever associated with international football.
With “Dai Dai,” Shakira once again proves her ability to unite music, culture, and sport on the world stage, building excitement for what promises to be one of the most memorable FIFA World Cups in history.
