The group stage of the 2026 World Cup continues to produce memorable moments both on and off the field. One of the standout matches was Brazil’s decisive 3-0 victory over Scotland, a result that secured the South American team’s top spot in Group C and its advancement to the next round of the tournament. However, in addition to the Canarinha’s performance, another event caught fans’ attention: Shakira’s reaction, as she watched the match from afar and took the opportunity to send an emotional message to Neymar and announce a new version of her official World Cup song.
The match, played in Miami, confirmed the excellent form of Carlo Ancelotti’s team. Brazil dominated from start to finish and secured a comfortable victory thanks to a brace by Vinicius Júnior and another goal by Matheus Cunha, a result that allowed them to finish at the top of their group and secure their spot in the round of 32.
One of the most anticipated moments of the match was Neymar’s return. The forward had been sidelined for the games against Morocco and Haiti due to an injury he had sustained before joining the World Cup squad. With the outcome of the match already decided, the Italian coach decided to give him a few minutes to get back into the rhythm of competition—a return that was widely celebrated by Brazilian fans.
Shakira’s message to Neymar on Brazil’s victory
While continuing her commitments for the “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” World Tour, Shakira found time to watch the match between Brazil and Scotland.
Through her Instagram Stories, the Colombian singer shared images of the game as it was broadcast on television, and after Brazil’s victory, she posted a message in Portuguese dedicated to the national team and, in particular, to Neymar.
In her remarks, the singer congratulated Brazil on its victory and highlighted the effort required to wear the iconic number 10 jersey, referring to the striker’s return to the World Cup stage. The message was received with enthusiasm by Brazilian fans, who thanked the Colombian artist for her gesture.
Shakira has always had a close relationship with her Brazilian fans, so it came as no surprise that she chose to speak in Portuguese to share her excitement about the result.
In addition to her message about sports, Shakira took the opportunity to share some news that thrilled her fans in Brazil.
The artist confirmed that a Portuguese-language version of “Dai Dai,” the official song of the 2026 World Cup, will be released soon, and announced that it will feature two renowned Brazilian musicians: Leo Santana and rapper Filipe Ret.
The singer presented the project as a special gift for her Brazilian fans and said that this adaptation aims to bring the song even closer to the local audience, while maintaining the festive and multicultural spirit that characterizes the tournament’s anthem.
Before the match between Brazil and Scotland, Globo had already aired an exclusive preview of this new version, generating great anticipation among fans. Weeks earlier, Telemundo had also aired a clip from the Spanish-language version.
So far, none of the adaptations have been officially released on digital platforms, although various reports indicate that they could premiere in the coming days.
World Tour and World Cup
Shakira’s schedule continues to be one of the busiest of the year. While she’s closely following some of the World Cup’s most important moments, the artist continues to tour the United States with her *Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour*.
He recently gave two concerts at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, before continuing with new performances scheduled in various cities across the country.
2026 has been a particularly successful year for the singer. The tour began with a series of concerts in El Salvador and then continued in Mexico, where she once again broke attendance records.
Among the highlights was his performance at the GNP Seguros Stadium, where he broke his own record for the most concerts held during a single tour. In addition, he headlined a historic free concert in Mexico City’s Zócalo, where he drew a crowd of nearly 400,000 people, setting one of the largest attendance records ever recorded at the iconic square.
With the World Cup and her tour taking place simultaneously, Shakira once again demonstrates her ability to remain relevant in both the music world and major sporting events, strengthening the bond she has built over the years with millions of fans around the world.
