Saturday’s official video debut for “Dai Dai” puts Shakira on a soccer-field set with Burna Boy’s World Cup anthem weeks before the 2026 tournament opens in North America.
12 players appear in the clip, including Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Jr., Christian Pulisic, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland, giving FIFA’s official song a star-heavy rollout.
The video follows the track’s May 14 release and extends Shakira’s nearly 20-year World Cup link, from Germany 2006 to her “Waka Waka” performances at South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014.
July 19 will bring her next FIFA milestone: the first-ever World Cup final halftime show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where she is set to headline with Madonna and BTS.
How will Shakira, Madonna, and BTS merge their distinct genres for the first-ever World Cup final halftime show?
Is the official World Cup anthem losing its cultural impact to corporate-sponsored songs like Coca-Cola's remake?
Will the star-studded FIFA education fund achieve its ambitious $100 million goal, or is it just a branding exercise?
