Renowned Nigerian artist Burna Boy is set to collaborate with Colombian pop superstar Shakira to perform the official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, titled “Dai Dai.”
This marks the second consecutive occasion that a Nigerian artist will be featured in a World Cup song.
It would be recalled that Davido was part of the official song for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which was titled “Hayya Hayya (Better Together)”.
The song is scheduled for official release on Thursday, May 14.
In her announcement, Shakira stated: “From Maracanã Stadium, here is ‘Dai Dai,’ the @FIFAWorldCup Official Song 2026. Coming 5/14. We’re ready! ⚽️🐺 @burnaboy.”
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be jointly hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America.
The tournament is set to take place from June 11 to July 19.
