Music will also play a leading role, with an official song, an album released in installments, and a halftime show in the final that aims to turn the tournament into a global event beyond football. FIFA and Global Citizen announced that Madonna, Shakira, and BTS will headline the halftime show of the final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled for Sunday, July 19 at the New York New Jersey Stadium. The performance will be artistically directed by Chris Martin of Coldplay and it will be the first time that the World Cup final incorporates a halftime show of this kind. This is how you can get information about Zapatero, Santos Cerdán's plot, or the latest news about the World Cup on Google: add El Confidencial as your preferred media outlet The official song and album of the World Cup That musical display has as its centerpiece 'Dai Dai,' by Shakira and Burna Boy, presented by FIFA as the official song of the 2026 World Cup. The track, released through Sony Music Latin, is already available on streaming platforms, and its proceeds will go to the FIFA and Global Citizen Education Fund, an initiative that aims to raise $100 million at the end of the tournament to facilitate children's access to football and quality education. Shakira's presence in the project does not go unnoticed due to her historical connection with World Cup music. Following the global impact of Waka Waka in 2010, the Colombian artist now returns with a track that blends celebration, culture, and unity. FIFA presents 'Dai Dai' as a song called to represent the international energy of a tournament that will be played for the first time in three countries. Along with that official song, the 2026 World Cup also features an official album. This difference is important: it is not just a single song, but a broad repertoire that the organization is releasing in chapters, with artists from different countries, genres, and musical scenes. Lighter The first single from that album was 'Lighter,' performed by Jelly Roll and Carín León, produced by Cirkut. FIFA presented it as a collaboration that brings together the three host countries: Jelly Roll for the United States, Carín León for Mexico, and Cirkut for Canada. The song opens the tournament's sound journey with a clear idea of unity between football, music, and shared identity. Por Ella The second single from the album is 'Por Ella,' by Belinda and Los Ángeles Azules. The song incorporates the vocal strength of the Mexican pop artist with Spanish origins and the sound of the Mexican cumbia group, with production by Tainy. The latter is behind some of Bad Bunny's big hits like Callaíta, Ojitos Lindos, or Safaera. The choice of Los Ángeles Azules allows cumbia to be brought to a global-reaching project, while Belinda brings a pop interpretation designed to connect with broader audiences. Together, 'Por Ella' works as one of the most recognizable songs in the album. Echo The third single is 'Echo,' performed by Puerto Rican Daddy Yankee and Jamaican Shenseea. The collaboration combines the reggaeton king with one of the most international voices of dancehall in an electronic energy proposal. Additionally, the track has executive production by Tainy, reinforcing the Latin and Caribbean presence within the musical project. Illuminate The list continues with 'Illuminate,' by the Canadian singer and songwriter Jessie Reyez and the Palestinian-Chilean artist Elyanna, the fourth release of the official album. The track combines Reyez's gritty voice, linked to R&B, with the Middle Eastern influences that Elyanna brings, adding another cultural layer to a soundtrack conceived to connect with audiences of different communities. Goals Spain also has a presence in the official album, although in 'Goals,' the Brazilian Anitta takes the lead. The funk exponent joins forces with the Thai LISA, one of the most well-known members of the group BLACKPINK, who many in Spain also discovered through her collaboration with Rosalía in New Woman. The trio is completed by Rema, one of the emerging promises from Nigeria who has also collaborated with a Spanish artist of enormous international projection like Bad Gyal. The result is a track from the official album that combines Latin pop, K-pop, and afrobeats. Furthermore, the organization announced that it will be performed live for the first time during the opening ceremony, to be held at the Los Angeles Stadium on Friday, June 12. Game Time The most recent addition is 'Game Time,' by Tyla and Future, a collaboration released on Friday, May 29. The South African artist, who brought amapiano to the global circuit with the success of Water, joins forces with one of the most influential names in trap and American hip hop of the last decade. The result plays with two different sound worlds: the more melodic and afrobeat side of Tyla and the trap pulse that characterizes Future. The 2026 World Cup will not only be the biggest in history with its 48 teams, 104 matches, and three host countries, the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Music will also play a leading role, with an official song, an album released in installments, and a halftime show in the final that aims to turn the tournament into a global event beyond football.
