Burna Boy and Shakira to Release 2026 World Cup Anthem

Burna Boy and Shakira are set to collaborate on the official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the song scheduled for release on May 14. The tournament will be co-hosted by Mexico, the United States, and Canada, and this collaboration has generated significant anticipation among fans.

Shakira, a Grammy-winning superstar, announced the single featuring Burna Boy via social media. This will be a notable moment in Burna Boy's career as he becomes the second Nigerian artist to feature in a FIFA World Cup anthem, following Davido's appearance in the 2022 World Cup anthem.

Shakira previously recorded a World Cup anthem for the 2010 tournament in South Africa. The 2026 tournament will be historic as it will feature 48 countries competing.

Burna Boy is expected to perform the anthem during the final match of the tournament, further elevating his profile on the global music stage.
