Shakira's much-anticipated music video for the official 2026 World Cup song 'Dai Dai' is finally here. Starring in the clip are soccer legends of the past and present, such as France’s Kylian Mbappé, Argentina’s Lionel Messi, England’s Harry Kane, Brazil’s Vinicius Junior, Colombia’s Luis Díaz, Germany’s Jamal Musiala, and Norway’s Erling Haaland, as well as stock footage of Pelé, Maradona, Kaká, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The locations are also iconic and symbolic, with Shakira singing and dancing next to the winged statue of the Angel of Independence in Mexico City, in the iconic Maracanã Stadium in Brazil, and in an African landscape with the region’s signature baobab trees.
The 2026 World Cup kicks off on June 11. It will be played in three host countries (the United States, Mexico, and Canada), and will feature 48 national teams.
Shakira’s return feels especially fitting, as the World Cup has long been about more than just soccer. The tournament is a global cultural phenomenon, bringing together fans from around the world through competition, celebration, and unforgettable performances. One of its most iconic traditions is the official anthem, with artists like Shakira, Ricky Martin, Jason Derulo, and Plácido Domingo all lending their voices to past editions.
