Photo: Shakira's Performance at the Opening of the 2026 World Cup

Shakira and Burna Boy energized tens of thousands of spectators who came to the Azteca Stadium in Mexico on Thursday (11/6/2026) local time or early Friday (12/6/2026) WIB, at the opening ceremony of the 2026 World Cup.

They sang Dai Dai, one of the official songs of the 2026 World Cup, to close the opening ceremony. KLovers, check out more details here!

Dai Dai is derived from an Italian expression that means 'let's go' or 'let's start'.

The message is considered in line with the spirit of the World Cup that brings together teams and supporters from various countries.

At the 2026 World Cup, FIFA introduced a new format for the opening ceremony. Unlike previous editions that only had one main opening event, this time there will be separate ceremonies in each host country, namely Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
