Shakira’s World Cup preparations entered their final hours as the Colombian singer previewed her FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony performance on Instagram.
Shakira shared a clip from “Dai Dai,” the song she is due to perform with Burna Boy at Mexico City Stadium on Thursday.
She wrote, “You’re about to reach the glory,” quoting a lyric from the song. The singer said the World Cup would begin at 11:40 a.m. CDMX time on June 11.

The performance marks Shakira’s fourth appearance at a FIFA World Cup ceremony. She previously performed at the 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cups.
Her 2010 song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” became one of the tournament’s best-known anthems.
