The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicked off with a bang on June 11, 2026, at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium. The host country played South Africa in the very first match of the international soccer championship and started the tournament off with a 2-0 win. This year, Colombian superstar Shakira returned for the opening ceremony once again, setting the stadium alight with her electric debut of Dai Dai, the official anthem of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, alongside Nigerian star Burna Boy. Some viewers, however, were convinced that it wasn’t the real singer at all.
