Shakira will headline a free concert on Copacabana Beach on May 2, 2026. Organizers expect more than two million fans to attend the event.
This concert highlights Shakira’s enduring popularity in Brazil and her strong connection to football. She has previously performed two official World Cup songs: ‘Waka Waka’ for the 2010 World Cup and ‘La La La’ for the 2014 World Cup.
During a recent visit to Maracanã Stadium, Shakira received jerseys from both Fluminense and Flamengo. She expressed gratitude, saying, “Oh, thank you so much! For my children. There’s one from Fluminense and Flamengo.”
The concert is part of the initiative Todo Mundo No Rio 2026, which aims to celebrate Brazilian culture and sports during the lead-up to the World Cup.
Shakira’s relationship with Gerard Piqué lasted over a decade, resulting in two children together. Her ties to football run deep, making this concert particularly significant.
As anticipation builds for the show, many observers are eager to see how this event will further strengthen her bond with Brazilian fans.
