The entire planet is counting down the hours until the grand final of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, where Spain and Argentina will compete for glory at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. However, at halftime, the eyes of the world will rest on the musical stage. Shakira, the undisputed queen of sporting events, is already fine-tuning the final details of what promises to be an unforgettable show.

The Barranquilla woman surprised her followers by sharing on her social networks a glimpse of her preparations for this Sunday. After having started choreographic training with her team in Essex County, the rehearsals moved to the stadium, adding the artists who will accompany her in this event.

Shakira heads a stellar lineup that will perform the tournament's official theme, “Dai Dai.” On stage he will be together with the Nigerian singer Burna Boy and the members of the Ghetto Kids Foundation, the group of boys and girls from Uganda that went viral on social networks precisely for recreating the choreographies of this World Cup song.

The images show an atmosphere full of laughter, hugs and a great sense of humor. In one of the rehearsal videos, the Colombian joked making a play on words in English with “messy” (disaster) and the star Leo Messi, who will lead the Albiceleste team in the final.

In addition to the demanding physical preparation, the Barranquilla native caused a stir by revealing in her Instagram stories a fragment of the Spanish version of “Dai Dai”, singing verses that celebrate the effort of “giving the skin” on the court.

Although expectations have grown about which language the show will dominate, reports suggest that it will perform the original version in English due to the participation of Burna Boy.

With this show, “Dai Dai” consolidates its commercial success by becoming Shakira's second World Cup song to enter the Billboard Hot 100, emulating the feat achieved with “Waka Waka” in South Africa 2010.
