ZURICH (AP) --- The World Cup --- officially --- has an official song. Shakira
and Nigerian singer-songwriter Burna Boy have combined to release "Dai Dai,"
FIFA said in a statement Friday.
"Dai Dai brings together the global sounds and energy of Shakira and Burna Boy
in a vibrant celebration of football, culture and unity," FIFA said.
In early May, Colombian singer Shakira foreshadowed Friday's news by sharing a
minute-long teaser clip of a new song, writing on social media: "From Maracan
Stadium, here is "Dai Dai," the FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026."
FIFA said royalties from the song, which is available on major streaming
platforms, will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.
On Thursday, FIFA announced that the final on July 19 in New Jersey will
feature a star-studded halftime show headlined by Madonna, Shakira and boy band
BTS.
The World Cup will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico and
begins in June.
