World Cup 2026: the songs that will mark the tournament

FIFA presents multiple songs for the 2026 World Cup with artists from Mexico, the US and Canada.

The countdown to the 2026 World Cup has begun. FIFA decided to expand its musical proposal: instead of a single anthem, it released an album with several songs that reflect the diversity of the three host countries: Mexico, the United States and Canada.

Shakira and Burna Boy return to the World Cup scene with “Dai Dai”, considered the main song of the project. The fusion of Afro and pop rhythms seeks to make fans dance.

Jelly Roll and Carín León present “Lighter”, a mix of country and regional Mexican that represents the brotherhood between countries. It is one of the first singles from the official album.

Belinda and Los Ángeles Azules collaborate on “Por Ella”, a song that fuses pop and cumbia to reflect the musical identity of Mexico.

Although it is not official from FIFA, Grupo Frontera released “Unidos por México”, a song created to support the national team on its way to the long-awaited fifth match.

The album also includes “Goals” by Lisa, Anitta and Rema, as well as “Illuminate” by Jessie Reyez and Elyanna, with lyrics in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

With collaborations that span pop, afrobeat, regional Mexican, cumbia and urban music, the soundtrack of the 2026 World Cup seeks to unite the world’s fans.

Shark Week 2025: K-Pop and diving stars dive with sharks

Rei Ami and Molly Carlson face their fears at sea for Shark Week.

The singer Rei Ami, known for her participation in the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, lived a unique experience off the coast of Korea. He dived with 16 reef sharks during a feeding frenzy.

Far from being terrified, he cried in amazement. “I thought I would be more scared, but I was fascinated. It was witnessing nature,” she said. “You can’t describe the emotions you feel.”

Two ways to face fear

Rei Ami did two cage dives and two freediving dives with hammerhead, reef and bull sharks. His partner on the K-Pop Shark Heroes show, comedian Ken Jeong, preferred to stay grounded. “I’m like Christopher Nolan in Shark Odyssey: I just supervise,” he joked.

The new season of Shark Week starts on Sunday on Discovery Channel, with 20 one-hour episodes. Among them, the participation of diver Molly Carlson stands out, who jumped 15 meters from a helicopter into a plexiglass cage surrounded by reef sharks.

Carlson, who suffers from anxiety, accepted the challenge to inspire others. “If I can help that 16-year-old girl who just wants to hide, I’ll find a way,” he said. “It’s okay to be afraid and do it anyway. That was the purpose of this project.”

The program concludes on August 1 with an analysis of the movement of white sharks northward and the technique used by thresher sharks to stun their prey.
