Shakira's World Cup 2026 Anthem Released in Spanish and Brazilian Versions
Colombian singer Shakira announced that her song "Dai Dai" will serve as the official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. A Spanish‑language rendition featuring Burna Boy was premiered during a match broadcast, and Shakira said she will perform the version at the tournament final in New Jersey.
For the Brazilian market, Shakira unveiled a Portuguese version of the track in collaboration with singers Léo Santana and Filipe Ret. The partnership was facilitated by fellow Brazilian star Anitta, who helped connect the artists. Shakira posted the news on Instagram shortly after Brazil’s victory over Scotland in the World Cup group stage.
The singer also shared family‑focused moments linked to the tournament: she posted a video of her 13‑year‑old son Milan reciting every World Cup champion since 1930, and she uploaded a clip of herself dancing to "Dai Dai" after Colombia’s 1‑0 win over the Democratic Republic of Congo. The song has entered the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 75.
These activities highlight Shakira’s multi‑language promotion of the World Cup anthem and her engagement with fans across Brazil, Colombia and the broader football audience.
