Colombian pop star Shakira has unveiled her official song for the 2026 World Cup.
The 49-year-old singer teased the song ‘Dai Dai’ as the anthem for this summer’s tournament in the US, Mexico and Canada.
She posted a one-minute video on Instagram from Maracaná Stadium in Rio de Janeiro (where Shakira drew a vast crowd for a free concert last weekend) to tease the track that is out on 14 May.
The track’s title – an Italian term meaning “Come on, come on” – features Shakira singing in both English and Spanish, and also features Nigerian singer Burna Boy.
