Shakira is preparing to star in one of the most eye-catching moments of the 2026 World Cup final. The Colombian singer invited children and teenagers from the Ugandan organization Ghetto Kids Foundation to share the stage with her on July 19 at the New York New Jersey Stadium, known as MetLife Stadium.

The news generated immediate enthusiasm because it combines entertainment, global visibility, and a story of social impact. It also reinforces Shakira’s image as an artist capable of connecting popular music with causes that involve children, education, and opportunities for vulnerable communities.

The initiative was born after the young people posted a video on social media dancing with enormous energy to the beat of “Dai Dai,” the tournament’s new anthem. The recording also featured the flags of the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the three host countries of the championship.

How Did Shakira’s Invitation to the Uganda Children Come About?

The Ghetto Kids video began circulating rapidly and sparked thousands of reactions. The strength of the dancing, the group’s coordination, and the joy of the young performers caught the attention of users from different countries. Very soon, the content stopped being a simple post and became a collective petition for them to be part of the event.
