The 2026 World Cup “blockbuster” has officially exploded: When Shakira calls, Messi and Mbappé answer!
Messi, Haaland, and a lineup of superstars gather in Shakira’s World Cup 2026 music video. The “Queen of World Cup Music,” Shakira, has officially stirred up the global football atmosphere by releasing the music video for the theme song “Dai Dai” (in collaboration with male singer Burna Boy) for the biggest football festival on the planet, the 2026 World Cup. Immediately after its release, this music product instantly exploded across global media thanks to the appearance of an “unprecedented” cameo lineup featuring the most powerful names in contemporary football.
Opening the music video in impressive fashion, fans witness the legendary Lionel Messi performing a skillful keepie-uppie and shouting: “Shakira, we are ready,” followed by a series of superstars such as Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Vinícius Jr, Harry Kane, Rodri, Alphonso Davies, and Christian Pulisic. Not stopping at visuals, the Colombian singer also cleverly pays tribute to the historical flow of the king of sports by directly including the names of legends from past to present such as Pelé, Maradona, Maldini, Romário, Cristiano Ronaldo, Beckham, Kaká, as well as Messi and Mbappé in the lyrics of the song.

The new song is predicted to dominate music charts and become the hottest fiery anthem of this summer.
