The anticipation for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ has reached fever pitch with the release of “Dai Dai,” the official tournament song, a vibrant collaboration between global superstars Shakira and Burna Boy. Released Thursday via Sony Music Latin, the track is now available on all major streaming platforms, promising to encapsulate the energy and passion of the world’s biggest football spectacle.
“Dai Dai” is more than just a song; it’s a powerful anthem in support of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. This ambitious initiative aims to raise £80 million (USD 100 million) by the close of the tournament, dedicated to providing children worldwide with access to quality education and invaluable football opportunities.
Shakira is a key partner in this endeavour, generously donating her royalties from “Dai Dai” to the Education Fund. In a significant show of support, Sony Music has pledged to match the first £200,000 (USD 250,000) raised through the song with an additional donation.
Adding to the excitement, Shakira is set to co-headline the historic first-ever FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final Halftime Show on Sunday, 19th July. This groundbreaking event will unite global artists in a singular moment at the crossroads of sport, culture, and purpose, all in aid of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.
“Dai Dai” joins a growing collection of tracks from the Official FIFA World Cup 2026™ Album, which has already seen releases such as “Lighter,” “Por Ella,” “Echo,” and “Illuminate.” More singles are expected in the coming weeks, further building the global soundtrack that celebrates the diversity and unifying spirit of the FIFA World Cup™ through the universal languages of music and football.
