Globally renowned Colombian singer Shakira has once again teamed up with football’s biggest spectacle, unveiling the teaser for the official song of the FIFA World Cup 2026 and triggering massive excitement among fans worldwide.
Shakira shared a teaser of the new anthem titled “Dye Dye” across her social media platforms, reigniting nostalgia among football and music lovers alike. The track has been produced in collaboration with Nigerian music star Burna Boy, while its full release is scheduled for May 14.

Soon after its release, the teaser gained massive traction online, collecting millions of views on Instagram and other social media platforms. Fans flooded comment sections with praise, with many describing Shakira’s return to the World Cup stage as “iconic.”
Shakira’s association with FIFA World Cups dates back nearly two decades. Her 2010 anthem Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) became one of the most successful and memorable football songs in history.
She had earlier appeared during the 2006 World Cup festivities with Hips Don’t Lie and later returned in 2014 with La La La (Brazil 2014).
The latest teaser also includes glimpses of official FIFA World Cup footballs from past tournaments, serving as a tribute to Shakira’s long-standing connection with the global football event.
Social media users widely celebrated the comeback, with some fans joking that the World Cup now feels incomplete without Shakira’s music.
The FIFA World Cup 2026 will be jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
The opening match will take place at Estadio Azteca, while the final is scheduled for MetLife Stadium.
FIFA is also planning to introduce a Super Bowl-style halftime show for the first time in tournament history, reportedly under the musical supervision of Chris Martin of Coldplay.
Analysts believe the 2026 World Cup could become not only a major sporting event but also one of the biggest global celebrations of music and pop culture.
