Mexico is all set to open the upcoming edition of the FIFA World Cup on June 11, 2026, at the Mexico City Stadium. It is worth mentioning that Shakira and Burno Boy are already helming the official song of FIFA 2026.
Shot in Miami and directed by Hannah Lux Davis, the video begins with Shakira standing at the top of Mexico City’s iconic Angel of Independence before transitioning to scenes of her dancing in a desert landscape alongside a group of African children. It was followed by the introduction of Burna Boy.
‘Dai Dai’ audio, which was released on May 16, marks Shakira’s latest association with football after the global success of her past tournament anthem, ‘Waka Waka’. Shakira is also set to co-headline the first-ever FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show on July 19 at the New York-New Jersey Stadium. (ANI)
