Shakira Announces New 2026 FIFA World Cup Song “Dai Dai” Ahead of May 14 Release

Today, Colombian superstar Shakira announced exciting news on her personal social media accounts: the official theme song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, titled Dai Dai, will be officially released on May 14, with Shakira once again taking center stage as the performer.



Shakira also shared a short teaser of the song online, filmed at Maracana Stadium and running for about one minute.

The video begins by showcasing the evolution of official World Cup match balls from 2010 to 2026. Shakira then appears on screen, dancing alongside people wearing jerseys from various national teams as the upbeat rhythm plays in the background, with the phrase “Dai Dai” repeatedly featured throughout the chorus.

Now 49 years old, Shakira famously performed Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, a song that became one of the most iconic football anthems of all time and remains deeply embedded in the memories of football fans worldwide.

Sixteen years later, she is set to return to the World Cup stage once again. The full version of Dai Dai will officially be released on May 14, generating huge anticipation among fans across the globe.
