Washington, May 18
Pop superstar Shakira has sparked excitement among football and music fans after unveiling a teaser for 'Dai Dai,' the Official Song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The singer shared a high-energy reel on her official Instagram account featuring intense football match visuals along with the caption, "Coming soon...," accompanied by a wolf and football emoticons, hinting at the imminent release of the track.
The upcoming anthem will feature Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy and is expected to play a major role in the build-up to the global football tournament.
According to promotional details shared on Shakira's profile, 'Dai Dai' is also linked to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, an initiative focused on expanding access to quality education and football programmes for children worldwide.
The teaser arrives shortly after announcements surrounding the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final entertainment lineup.
Shakira is set to co-headline the first-ever FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show on July 19 at the New York-New Jersey Stadium.
She will perform alongside Madonna and BTS in what is being billed as a landmark live event. The halftime show is being curated by Chris Martin of Coldplay and produced by Global Citizen.
The Instagram teaser gained more than 1 million likes and thousands of comments within hours of being shared.
'Dai Dai' audio, which was released on May 16, marks Shakira's latest association with football after the global success of her past tournament anthem, 'Waka Waka'.
The FIFA World Cup 2026 is scheduled to take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026.

Love that they're linking it with the Global Citizen Education Fund. Music and social impact - that's the way to go! 👏
Honestly, I was hoping for something more original than just bringing back Shakira. Waka Waka was great, but that was 2010. And Madonna AND BTS? This feels like a cash grab. 😒
As someone who grew up on Afrobeats, having Burna Boy on this is huge! Nigeria representing on the world stage again. 🇳🇬🌍
The halftime show lineup is insane! Shakira, Madonna, BTS, curated by Chris Martin? That's going to be epic. India needs to host a World Cup someday so we can have something like this! 🙏⚽
Not sure about this. 'Dai Dai' sounds like a weird title. And why are they announcing halftime show acts so early? Seems like overhype. Let's just see if the song is actually good first.
Bro, the teaser already has 1 million likes in hours! The hype is real. 🔥🔥 Shakira knows how to get the world moving. And Burna Boy? No one does it better
