Shakira Makes Announcement on Official World Cup Song ...Saudi Arabia

The new anthem features Nigerian Afrofusion star Burna Boy and was released on Thursday across major streaming platforms and YouTube.

The nearly four-minute song mixes Afrobeats, dance-pop, reggaetón and world music influences while celebrating football culture and global unity. FIFA described the track as “a vibrant celebration of football, culture and unity.”

“Dai dai” is an Italian expression meaning “come on” or “let’s go,” and the song reflects that message throughout its multilingual chorus. Lyrics are delivered in English and Spanish, while phrases in Italian, French and Japanese are also included to highlight the international spirit of the tournament.

Burna Boy joins her on the uplifting hook as the pair encourage listeners to keep pushing forward. The song also honors some of football’s most famous names, including Pelé, Diego Maradona, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.

The song was teased earlier this month through a video filmed at the iconic Maracanã Stadium in Brazil. FIFA later confirmed the track as the official anthem for the tournament.

Shakira is also set to co-headline the tournament’s first-ever halftime show at the final alongside Madonna and BTS.

With “Dai Dai,” FIFA appears to be aiming for another global anthem that can unite football fans before the 2026 tournament officially kicks off.
