Shakira, World Cup star

Shakira once again takes the spotlight at the 2026 World Cup with her performance at the opening ceremony singing 'Dai Dai' alongside Burna Boy. After more than fifteen years since her last appearance at a World Cup, the singer returns to connect with millions of fans and will also be present at the final, where she will perform the first 'half time show' in the history of the World Cup.

Success of 'Dai Dai'

The tournament anthem, 'Dai Dai', has surpassed 100 million views on YouTube even before the tournament begins, and the proceeds from the song will be directed to the FIFA Citizens Global Education Fund. Shakira has been rehearsing her performances on iconic stages like the Azteca Stadium, where she has practiced with other prominent Latin music artists.

Unstoppable world tour

Amidst a successful 'Women Don't Cry Anymore World Tour', Shakira adds new dates in North America, reaching 18 concerts in just six weeks. One of the most anticipated moments will be her performance in Brooklyn, where she will share the stage with Ed Sheeran, promising a historic event. Additionally, the tour will have a significant stop in Europe with a twelve-date residency in Madrid.

“I am just getting started,” Shakira recently affirmed, showing that her ambition remains intact after three decades in the elite. Music, showmanship, and football converge once again, and Shakira aims to be the queen of the World Cup once more.
