Global superstars Shakira and Burna Boy brought excitement and colour to the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a memorable performance of “Dai Dai,” the tournament’s official anthem.
The crowd erupted as Shakira stepped onto the stage shortly after J Balvin’s appearance, launching into the opening lines of the song. The Colombian singer dazzled spectators with her signature dance routines before Burna Boy joined her to a massive ovation from fans inside the stadium.
Together, the two artists delivered an energetic show packed with music, choreography and crowd interaction. Their chemistry on stage kept the audience engaged as they danced and performed side by side.
“Dai Dai” was created as the official soundtrack for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and also serves to promote the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, a programme dedicated to increasing educational opportunities worldwide.
With dancers supporting them throughout the performance, Shakira showcased her renowned stage presence while Burna Boy matched the tempo with his own dynamic moves and vibrant performance style.
The ceremony concluded with both stars gathering at centre stage, encouraging fans to sing along to the song’s final chorus: “Dale, allez, let’s go!”
