Nigerian Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy is set to feature on the official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside Colombian singer Shakira. The song, titled “Dai Dai,” is scheduled for release on May 14.

The collaboration marks another major international milestone for Burna Boy and continues the growing presence of Nigerian artists on the global football stage. It is also the second consecutive FIFA World Cup soundtrack to feature a Nigerian musician.

At the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Nigerian singer Davido appeared on the official tournament song “Hayya Hayya (Better Together).” 

Shakira announced the upcoming release through her social media platforms, writing: “From Maracanã Stadium, here is ‘Dai Dai,’ the @FIFAWorldCup Official Song 2026. Coming 5/14. We’re ready! @burnaboy.”

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The tournament is scheduled to run from June 11 to July 19.
