World Cup 2026: Shakira Shares Spanish Version of Anthem "Dai Dai"

Shakira has amplified the reach of the 2026 World Cup anthem "Dai Dai" by releasing a Spanish-language version. The Colombian superstar shared the new rendition on her social media channels, a move that comes just two days before the tournament's final match.

This Spanish version follows the song's initial release in English and Shakira's performance of the track during the opening ceremony on June 11 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The timing of the Spanish release, just before the tournament's conclusion, highlights its significance to Spanish-speaking audiences.

"In the 11 against 11, each one in their role, nobody plays here when they leave their skin," Shakira wrote on social media, accompanying a video of herself singing the song in Spanish. This lyric reflects the passion and effort involved in the sport.

Shakira's connection to World Cup anthems is well-established. In 2010, she delivered "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)," the official song for the South Africa World Cup, which remains one of the tournament's most iconic musical contributions. Her involvement in the 2026 World Cup continues this tradition.

Fans have expressed anticipation for the Spanish version, with one user tweeting, "I am indeed waiting for this Spanish version of 'Dai Dai' 😌." Shakira is also scheduled to perform "Dai Dai" at the closing ceremony this Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, preceding the final match between Argentina and Spain.
