Burna Boy Collaborates with Shakira for the Official Anthem of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Titled “Dai Dai.”
Nigerian music sensation Burna Boy has collaborated with Colombian global icon Shakira for the official song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, titled “Dai Dai.”
The upcoming collaboration, scheduled for release on May 14, has sparked significant excitement in both the football and music communities, following Shakira’s teasers of the anthem on social media prior to its official launch.
The track signifies Shakira’s comeback to the FIFA World Cup stage after the remarkable success of her earlier tournament anthems, such as Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and La La La (Brazil 2014) during the tournament in Brazil.
Burna Boy’s collaboration marks a significant milestone in the global ascent of Afrobeats, as the Grammy-winning artist introduces his distinctive sound to the world’s premier football event. Fans are eagerly looking forward to a lively blend of Afrobeat rhythms and Latin pop energy, wishing that “Dai Dai” can capture the cultural significance and lasting charm of “Waka Waka.”
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to be co-hosted by Mexico, the United States, and Canada from June 11 to July 19, 2026, and is anticipated to be the largest tournament in history.
