Excitement continues to build ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup final halftime performance at MetLife Stadium on 19 July, where global superstar Shakira will share the stage with Uganda’s viral dance collective Triplets Ghetto Kids. Until then, new behind-the-scenes images from the set of the official anthem “Dai Dai” are offering a closer look at the energy behind the production.
The visuals transport viewers to a desert-inspired set anchored by a towering baobab tree, where the World Cup anthem shoot unfolds in a bright, celebratory atmosphere. The project also features Burna Boy, following the group’s viral rise after Shakira personally discovered their choreography online and invited them to join the collaboration.
In the standout group shot, Shakira is seen at the center wearing a teal-beaded performance ensemble, surrounded by the Ghetto Kids in a colorful mix of African prints, casual streetwear, and performance-ready outfits. The contrast highlights the visual harmony between global pop stardom and grassroots dance culture.
Other behind-the-scenes moments capture the group in motion across the sand, showcasing the high-energy choreography that first brought the Ghetto Kids international attention. Their synchronized movements and expressive performance style bring a sense of joy and spontaneity to the production.
For the Kampala-based group, the project marks another milestone in their global journey from local street performances to major international stages. Their appearance alongside Shakira on such a high-profile World Cup anthem positions them as one of the standout cultural acts tied to the tournament’s entertainment lineup.
With anticipation already building for the halftime show, these behind-the-scenes glimpses only heighten expectations for what is set to be one of the most talked-about performances of the World Cup final.
