Shakira releases Spanish version of 'Dai Dai,' the official FIFA World Cup 2026 song

Global music superstar Shakira has released the Spanish version of 'Dai Dai,' the official anthem for the FIFA World Cup 2026, further engaging fans with the tournament's theme song.

The track, a collaboration with Nigerian artist Burna Boy, was initially released in May, weeks before the tournament's kickoff. 'Dai Dai' is recorded in five languages: English, Spanish, Italian, French, and Japanese. The title itself is an Italian colloquial expression of encouragement, akin to "let's go, let's go."

Shakira announced the Spanish version on her Instagram account on Friday. She and Burna Boy performed the song during the tournament's opening ceremony on June 11 in Mexico City. They also performed it during halftime of the final match, held in the United States, accompanied by children from the Ugandan dance group Ghetto Kids.

Beyond its musical appeal, 'Dai Dai' carries a significant social purpose. All copyright proceeds from the song are directed to the FIFA Global Education Fund. This initiative aims to raise one hundred million dollars to ensure children across the globe gain access to both education and the sport of football.
