Shakira has ignited worldwide excitement after unveiling the first teaser for “Dai Dai,” the official song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup featuring Nigerian music giant Burna Boy. The global collaboration is already trending across social media as football and music fans count down to the full release.
FIFA selected “Dai Dai” as the official soundtrack for the 2026 tournament, which the United States, Mexico, and Canada will co-host. The tournament begins on June 11 and is expected to become one of the biggest sporting events in history.
Shakira released a 67-second teaser filmed inside the iconic Maracanã Stadium. In the energetic preview, the Colombian superstar dances across the pitch with performers while footballs surround the scene. Fireworks then light up the stadium as the camera pulls back to reveal the words, “We Are Ready.”
She also shared a message on X, telling fans: “From Maracanã Stadium, here is ‘Dai Dai,’ the @FIFAWorldCup Official Song 2026. Coming 5/14. We’re ready! @burnaboy.”
The full track arrives on May 14, and many fans believe it could become another global football anthem. The collaboration mixes Latin pop energy with Afrobeats sounds, giving the song strong international appeal ahead of kickoff.
This release also marks Shakira’s return to the World Cup anthem spotlight. She previously delivered the legendary Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) for the 2010 tournament in South Africa, a song many still consider one of football’s greatest soundtracks.
For Burna Boy, the feature adds another major global milestone. The Grammy-winning Nigerian star continues to push Afrobeats to new heights, and fans across Africa see the FIFA partnership as another huge win for the continent.
Online reactions have been intense, with many calling Shakira the Queen of World Cup anthems while others praised Burna Boy’s inclusion on such a historic project.
As anticipation builds, “Dai Dai” may become one of the most searched songs of 2026. Stay with ttybrandafrica, the best media platform in Africa, for breaking entertainment news, FIFA updates, music releases, celebrity trends, and global stories.
