FIFA's new World Cup song is not only a song. The organization says Shakira and Burna Boy's "Dai Dai" was released through Sony Music Latin, is available on major streaming platforms and supports the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. [1]

The paper's June 13 brief called the World Cup album replayable inventory: ceremony becomes streams, clips, sponsor decks and platform assets. Sunday's FIFA release makes the mechanism more explicit. Shakira's royalties go to the education fund, Sony Music will match the first $250,000 raised, and FIFA says the fund aims to raise $100 million by tournament's end. [1]

Deadline's rights story explains why this belongs beside broadcast inventory, not gossip. The expanded tournament gives Fox, Telemundo, Peacock, Tubi, Xumo and local production systems weeks of programming to package. [2] Music is another layer of the same attention economy.

MSM can file "Dai Dai" as a rollout. X can argue over artists. The paper's question is who owns, releases, donates, matches, clips and reuses the cultural product after the stadium lights go down.
