Nigerian music superstar Burna Boy and global pop icon Shakira are set to bring their FIFA World Cup anthem, "Dai Dai," to one of the world's biggest stages as part of the opening ceremony for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Mexico City. FIFA confirmed that the duo will perform the official tournament song live during the opening celebrations ahead of the tournament's first match.
The collaboration marks another major international milestone for Burna Boy, whose influence continues to extend far beyond the African music scene. The track, which blends Burna Boy's Afrobeats sound with Shakira's signature global pop appeal, serves as the official soundtrack for a tournament expected to attract billions of viewers worldwide.
For Shakira, the song represents another chapter in her long-standing relationship with the FIFA World Cup, following the global success of previous tournament anthems such as Waka Waka (This Time for Africa). For Burna Boy, it is yet another indication of Afrobeats' growing presence on some of the world's biggest cultural platforms.
