The FIFA revealed this Wednesday the complete list of the Official Album for the FIFA World Cup 2026, a project of 18 songs that the organization describes as the most ambitious in the history of the competition.
Unlike previous editions, where there was a single official anthem, the 2026 World Cup embraces a multi-artist format that brings together voices from all continents, languages, and genres, ranging from global superstars to emerging artists.
The main official song is "Dai Dai," performed by Shakira and Nigerian artist Burna Boy. With this track, the Colombian becomes the only artist to have three songs associated with World Cups: "Waka Waka (This Is Africa)" for South Africa 2010, "La La La" for Brazil 2014, and now "Dai Dai" for 2026.
The first single from the album was "Lighter," by Jelly Roll and Carín León, released on March 20, produced by the Canadian Cirkut, blending rock, banda, and country to represent the three host countries.
Among the standout collaborations on the album are "Goals" (LISA, Anitta, and Rema), "Echo" (Daddy Yankee and Shenseea), "Por Ella" (Los Ángeles Azules and Belinda), "Game Time" (Future and Tyla), "Three Nations" (21 Savage, Nata Cano, and French Montana), and "No Place Like Home" (Major Lazer, Nelly Furtado, and Davido).
The album also features The Rolling Stones with "In the Stars (Remix)", Alejandro Fernández with "Mi México Lindo", Ava Max and BIA with "Energy", and IShowSpeed with "World Cup (Champions)", becoming the first digital content creator to be part of the official World Cup album.
Of special relevance is the participation of Cuban artist Cimafunk in "Love Always Wins," alongside Shaggy and Zema, a song written and produced by Emilio Estefan. Cimafunk, who made history at Coachella 2024 by being the first Cuban artist to perform at that festival, thus adds another milestone to his international career.
The complete tracklist of the album is as follows:
- "Goals" – LISA, Anitta, and Rema

The president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, stated that the album brings together "artists from all continents, languages, and genres, from global superstars to emerging voices that are shaping the future of the industry."
Many of these songs will be performed live during the Countdown Concert on June 10 in Mexico City, Toronto, and Los Angeles, as well as at the three opening ceremonies of the tournament: Mexico on June 11, and the United States and Canada on June 12.
The 2026 World Cup will conclude on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, featuring the tournament's first final in history that will include a Super Bowl-style halftime show, starring Madonna, Shakira, and BTS.
