The FIFA World Cup 2026 has its anthem. Shakira and Burna Boy have released “Dai Dai” via Sony Music Latin, the official song of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, a campaign targeting $100 million raised by the end of the tournament to connect children in underserved communities with access to quality education and sports.
Shakira’s royalties from “Dai Dai” go directly to the Education Fund. Sony Music will match the first $250,000 raised with a donation. And Shakira is contributing $1 from every ticket sold on her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour to the fund as well.
“The World Cup is one of the few things the entire world experiences together,” Burna Boy says. “Football and music speak the same language. They bring people together no matter where you’re from and being part of this moment through music means a lot to me.”
The song sets up one of the most anticipated halftime shows in sporting history. On Sunday, July 19th, Shakira co-headlines the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Halftime Show alongside Madonna and BTS, the first halftime show in FIFA World Cup Final history.
Shakira arrives at this moment at an extraordinary peak. Billboard crowned her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour the highest-grossing Hispanic tour of all time, generating $421.6 million across 82 stadium shows with over 3.3 million people in attendance. In early May, she performed for more than 2 million fans at Copacabana Beach for Todo Mundo No Rio, one of the highest attended concerts ever recorded, bringing out Anitta, Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethânia, Ivete Sangalo, and others for a set spanning her entire career.
This fall, Shakira headlines an 11-night stadium European residency in Madrid, in a stadium being built and named specifically for her. More than half a million tickets are already sold. A limited U.S. arena run this summer gives North American fans a closer look at the production before the European dates.
Burna Boy’s appearance on “Dai Dai” reflects a career that continues to operate at the intersection of music, sport, and global culture. From stadium headline slots to the NBA All-Star Game, he remains one of the most important live performers working today.
