NEW YORK – Can you imagine dancing with Shakira to 'Whenever, Wherever' and shining on the biggest stage in the world: the FIFA World Cup? Shakira is searching for fans and dancers to join her during the historic halftime show of the FIFA World Cup 2026 final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The Colombian star will headline the show alongside Madonna and the South Korean band BTS. While the official setlist remains a secret, fans can count on one guaranteed song: 'Dai Dai,' the official anthem of the 2026 World Cup recorded by Shakira with Afrobeats icon Burna Boy. 'I want that moment to be special for all of us. I want it to be unforgettable,' Shakira expressed. The 'Hips Don’t Lie' performer revealed that she wants to invite 'as many as I can' to join her on stage and urged her followers to keep sending videos of themselves dancing to the song because she will be 'watching very closely.' Among the confirmed special guests are the famous Ghetto Kids from Uganda, a viral dance group made up of children aged 5 to 13. The collective helps orphans and underprivileged children in Kampala and has garnered millions of views on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube thanks to their energetic choreography and infectious smiles.
