Colombian pop star Shakira on Thursday unveiled the official song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, titled Dai Dai, reports Reuters.

The 49-year-old singer shared a teaser video of the track on Instagram from Maracanã Stadium. The song features Nigerian artist Burna Boy and is scheduled for release on May 14.

In the video, Shakira appears alongside a group of dancers dressed in the colours of several national teams participating in the tournament, which will be held from June 11 to July 19 across Mexico, the United States and Canada.

The teaser also features official match balls from the 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cups, apparently referencing the tournaments in which Shakira played a major musical role.

Shakira previously performed the official song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa — Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).

She also performed her hit songs Hips Don't Lie and La La La (Brazil 2014) during ceremonies at the 2006 World Cup in Germany and the 2014 tournament in Brazil, respectively.
