Afrobeats singer Burna Boy is set to collaborate with Colombian singer and dancer Shakira on a new song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The track, titled ‘Dai Dai,’ has already sparked wide reactions online, with fans expressing anticipation for a new global release from Shakira, who is known for her 2010 World Cup anthem ‘Waka Waka.’
The collaboration brings together Latin pop and Afrobeats on one of football’s biggest global stages, with Burna Boy adding his sound to a tournament song expected to reach audiences across different regions.
The song is scheduled for release on May 14.
Shakira has previously been associated with major football tournament songs, including ‘Waka Waka’ for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, which became widely popular around the world. The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, with an expanded format featuring more teams than previous editions.
Burna Boy’s involvement adds to his growing list of international collaborations as Afrobeats continues to gain stronger visibility in global music and major sporting events.
