Shakira and Burna Boy have officially released the highly anticipated music video for their new collaborative track, “Dai Dai.”
The high-energy single has been designated as the official song of the FIFA World Cup 2026, serving a dual purpose as a powerful anthem and a primary fundraising vehicle for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.
Directed by the acclaimed Hannah Lux Davis, the stunning video was shot entirely on location in Miami, blending vibrant cinematography with a fast-paced narrative celebrating global unity and athletic excellence.
The music video features an unprecedented compilation of the world’s most celebrated soccer stars, including Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane, Vinícius Júnior, Rodrigo Hernández (Rodri), Takefusa Kubo, Santiago Giménez, Erling Haaland, Luis Díaz, Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, and Christian Pulisic.
Beyond traditional sports stardom, the video features a deeply moving performance by the Ghetto Kids Uganda. This life-changing non-governmental organization dedicates its resources to supporting orphaned, street-dwelling, and deeply vulnerable children through the transformative power of music, dance, and drama.
By consciously turning raw talent into sustainable opportunity, the organization provides critical education, secure shelter, healthcare, nutritious food, and structural hope for a brighter future. Their joyful involvement helps children successfully stay away from the intense hardships of street life while showcasing their artistic talents to billions of viewers worldwide.
In a striking visual highlight, Shakira is filmed performing atop Mexico City’s legendary Angel de la Independencia, an iconic landmark situated on the historic Reforma Avenue.
This cinematic choice serves as a direct visual tribute to a country that has played a foundational role throughout her decades-long career. Production was made possible with the capital’s local tourism campaign, “Ciudad de México Corazón Grande,” which provided critical logistical support in bringing this monumental creative moment to life.
Looking ahead to the tournament’s conclusion, Shakira is set to co-headline the historic FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Halftime Show on Sunday, July 19. Sharing the global stage alongside music legends Madonna and international superstars BTS, she will deliver a live performance of “Dai Dai” with Burna Boy.
This marks the first time in the lengthy history of the FIFA World Cup that the final match will feature an official halftime show. The event promises to bring together global artists for a singular, historic moment at the intersection of sport, culture, and social purpose.
As first announced two weeks ago at the Global Citizen Now summit in New York, the track functions as the official anthem of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. The fund has established an ambitious goal to raise one hundred million US dollars by the conclusion of the tournament final. These funds will provide children living in severely underserved communities around the world with direct access to quality education and sports programs.
Financial contributions are already accumulating rapidly through multiple independent streams. Shakira’s personal royalties from “Dai Dai” are being donated directly to the Education Fund. Additionally, Sony Music has pledged to match the first $250,000 raised with an independent corporate donation. Shakira is also personally donating one dollar from every single ticket sold for her upcoming ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran’ tour directly to the cause.
In the coming months, Shakira will hit the road for a special limited run of US dates on her record-breaking Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, giving fans a rare chance to see her electrifying production up close in more intimate arena settings this summer. Tickets are available at shakira.com.
In October, Shakira will headline an 11-night stadium European residency based in Madrid, with a stadium named ‘Shakira Stadium’ being built especially for her, and has already sold more than half a million tickets.
For Burna Boy, the collaboration marks another defining global moment in a career that continues to bridge music, sport, and culture on an unprecedented scale.
Widely recognized as one of the most influential African artists of his generation, Burna Boy has become synonymous with stadium-level performance, global musical fusion, and the international rise of African music and culture. From headlining arenas and stadiums across the world to performing at the NBA All-Star Game and building major partnerships at the intersection of music and sport, Burna Boy continues to redefine what global African artistry looks like at the highest level.
Burna Boy is currently in the midst of an expansive international run that continues to cement his position as one of the world’s leading live performers and cultural voices.
“Dai Dai” by Shakira and Burna Boy is now out on digital streaming platforms under exclusive license to Sony Music.
