  • Shakira released the Spanish version of 'Dai Dai,' the official song for the 2026 World Cup, on July 17, 2026.
  • The new Spanish version follows her performance of the song during the tournament's opening ceremony on June 11.
  • She is also scheduled to perform at the World Cup closing ceremony before the final match.

Colombian superstar Shakira has released the Spanish-language version of 'Dai Dai,' the official song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The new rendition, featuring Nigerian artist Burna Boy, arrived on Friday, July 17, 2026, just two days before the tournament's final match.

This Spanish version follows Shakira's energetic performance of the song during the World Cup's opening ceremony, which took place on June 11 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The artist shared a video of herself singing the Spanish lyrics on her social media channels, highlighting lines like "In the 11 against 11, each one in their role, no one is playing when they give their all."

Shakira's connection to World Cup anthems is well-established. In 2010, her song 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)' became one of the most iconic themes in the tournament's history. She is also slated to perform 'Dai Dai' again at the closing ceremony this Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, prior to the final between Argentina and Spain.
