Shakira has premiered the music video for “Dai Dai,” the official anthem of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The video has caused a massive stir because it features major football stars who will be playing in this World Cup.
It also includes tributes to legendary figures such as the late Diego Armando Maradona, alongside other international football icons such as Pelé, Kaká, and Ronaldo Nazario. Although the track featuring Burna Boy was released a few days ago, the video was highly anticipated, as football fans eagerly wondered which familiar faces would make an appearance.
