Shakira Surprises with Spanish Version of World Cup 2026 Song 'Dai Dai'

Shakira has energized social media by releasing the Spanish version of "Dai Dai," the official song for the 2026 World Cup. The Colombian superstar collaborated with Nigerian singer Burna Boy on the track, which arrived just two days before the tournament's final match.

The original English version of the song was released earlier in the tournament and has already garnered millions of streams. This new Spanish rendition follows Shakira's acclaimed performance at the World Cup's opening ceremony on June 11 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.

Accompanying the release, Shakira shared a snippet of the song on her Instagram story, featuring lyrics like, "In the 11 against 11, each one in their role, nobody plays here when they leave their skin." This highlights her passion and commitment to the song and the tournament.

Shakira is set to make another appearance at the World Cup's closing ceremony this Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. She will perform "Dai Dai" once more shortly before the decisive final match between Argentina and Spain.

This participation further solidifies Shakira's historic connection with the World Cup. Her 2010 song "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)," the official anthem for the South Africa World Cup, is widely considered one of the most iconic and influential tracks in FIFA tournament history by critics and fans alike.
