Shakira headlined the 2026 World Cup opening ceremony in Mexico City, performing the official tournament song “Dai Dai” alongside Burna Boy. The performance capped the star-studded event at Estadio Azteca that launched the global football competition.
“Dai Dai” was commissioned as the anthem for the 2026 tournament spanning three host countries. Shakira, who has performed at previous World Cups, delivered the centerpiece act of the opening program.
Burna Boy joined her on stage for the premiere of the track before a worldwide television audience. The ceremony blended music, choreography and visual effects celebrating the host nations’ cultures.
The song’s release coincided with the first matches of the expanded 48-team World Cup. Performances at the ceremony also featured J Balvin and other international artists.
