Shakira and Burna Boy have jointly released “Dai Dai”,the video for their new track- the official song of the FIFA World Cup 2026, in support of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.

According to reports by Music Universe,“Dai Dai,” video was shot in Miami and directed by Hannah Lux Davis.

The video features a compilation of soccer stars Lionel Messi, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé, Rodrigo Hernández (Rodri), Vinícius Júnior, Takefusa Kubo, Santiago Giménez, Erling Haaland, Luis Díaz, Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, and Christian Pulisic.

Similarly, the video also features Ghetto Kids Uganda, a life-changing NGO dedicated to supporting orphaned, street, and vulnerable children through music, dance, and drama. By turning talent into opportunity, the organization provides education, shelter, healthcare, food, and hope for a brighter future while helping children stay away from the hardships of street life.

The video shows Shakira atop Mexico City’s Angel de la Independencia, one of Mexico’s most iconic landmarks on the emblematic Reforma Avenue. It serves as a visual tribute to a country that has played an important role throughout her career, with special thanks to the capital’s tourism campaign Ciudad de México Corazón Grande for its support in bringing this moment to life.

Shakira will co-headline the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Halftime Show on Sunday, July 19th, alongside Madonna and BTS. She will perform Dai Dai with Burna Boy.

And, for the first time in FIFA World Cup history, the final will feature a halftime show, bringing together global artists for a singular moment at the intersection of sport, culture, and purpose, to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.

As announced last week at Global Citizen NOW in New York, “Dai Dai” will be the official anthem of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise $100 million by the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final to provide children in underserved communities around the world with access to quality education and sports. Shakira’s royalties from ‘Dai Dai’ are being donated to the Education Fund, and Sony Music will match the first $250,000 raised with a donation. Additionally, Shakira is donating $1 from every ticket sold to her upcoming ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran’ tour to the Education Fund.

This summer, Shakira will hit the road for a special limited run of U.S. dates on her record-breaking Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, giving fans a rare chance to see her electrifying production up close in more intimate arena settings this summer. In October, Shakira will headline an 11-night stadium European residency based in Madrid, with a stadium named Shakira Stadium being built especially for her, and she has already sold more than half a million tickets.

In early May, Shakira captivated an audience of more than two million fans at Copacabana Beach for this year’s Todo Mundo No Rio concert. Shakira, in a triumphant return to Brazil, where she first began her international touring career, addressed the crowd in Portuguese throughout the concert and played an electrifying set filled with her greatest hits spanning her entire career, including “Hips Don’t Lie,” “La Tortura,” and “La Bicicleta.” Shakira’s historic show paid homage to Brazil as she brought out special guests, including Anitta, for the debut performance of their new single “Choka Choka,” “O Leãozinho” with Caetano Veloso, “O Que É, O Que É” with Maria Bethânia and Unidos da Tijuca, “Waka Waka” with dance group Mare Dance, “Objection” with Unidos da Tijuca and “País Tropical” with Ivete Sangalo.

On top of this, the 49-year old was crowned by Billboard this year as having the “highest-grossing Hispanic tour of all time” with her recent Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, achieving a gross revenue of $421.6 million, inclusive of 82 stadium shows all across the US and Latin America with over 3.3 million people in attendance.

For Burna Boy, the collaboration marks another defining global moment in a career that continues to bridge music, sport, and culture on an unprecedented scale. Widely recognised as one of the most influential African artists of his generation, Burna Boy has become synonymous with stadium-level performance, global musical fusion, and the international rise of African music and culture. From headlining arenas and stadiums across the world to performing at the NBA All-Star Game and building major partnerships at the intersection of music and sport, Burna Boy continues to redefine what global African artistry looks like at the highest level. Burna Boy is currently in the midst of an expansive international run that continues to cement his position as one of the world’s leading live performers and cultural voices.

Meanwhile, Burna Boy has expressed deep excitement about the historic collaboration, celebrating the fusion of Afrobeats and Latin pop and describing the track as a powerful unifying global anthem.

Burna Boy noted that blending his signature Afro-fusion sound with Shakira’s iconic Latin pop melodies felt incredibly natural. He emphasized that the World Cup represents the ultimate global stage, making it the perfect opportunity to bring Nigerian music to a massive worldwide audience.
