Shakira releases World Cup anthem video with Messi, Mbappé

Published 24 May 2026

Colombian superstar Shakira released the official music video for her new song "Dai Dai," the official anthem of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, marking her return to the tournament stage nearly two decades after her first World Cup performance. The video, a collaboration with Nigerian artist Burna Boy, debuted on May 23 and features appearances by some of the world's top football players, including Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, England captain Harry Kane, and others such as Vinícius Jr., Luis Díaz, Rodri, and Christian Pulisic.

The four-minute clip opens with the football stars walking onto a pitch before Shakira takes center stage in scenes shot in Miami. It includes a visual of Shakira standing atop Mexico City's Angel of Independence monument before transitioning to choreography in a desert setting with a group of children. Burna Boy joins her later in the video. The finale shows Shakira entering a stadium surrounded by dancers wearing costumes inspired by the flags of participating nations. The video also pays tribute to past legends of the sport through archival clips featuring Diego Maradona, Romário, Paolo Maldini, David Beckham, Kaká, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
