Just days before World Cup 2026 begins, FIFA released a lineup-style poster featuring several confirmed global artists, including Lisa, Anitta, Rema, Future, Tyla, Jessie Reyez, Elyanna, Daddy Yankee, Shenseea, Belinda, Los Ángeles Azules, Jelly Roll, and Carín León.

However, what caught fans’ attention most was not only the confirmed lineup — but the mysterious blank spots. Several hidden positions were marked as Anthem songs, immediately leading to rumors that BTS, Madonna, and Katy Perry could be involved in unreleased World Cup 2026 tracks.

The speculation grew because all three names have already been linked to major World Cup 2026 stages. BTS and Madonna were previously announced for the halftime show at the final, while Katy Perry is expected to perform at the opening ceremony.

Still, none of them have appeared in the currently released FIFA Sound song list, making fans wonder if they are being saved for the album’s biggest surprise. Another major talking point is Shakira and Burna Boy’s song “Dai Dai.”

When the track was released in mid-May, it was introduced separately as an Official Song of World Cup 2026. But now, its appearance on the FIFA Sound album poster has confused fans, with some questioning whether FIFA has changed its original plan for the song.

As of now, FIFA has not clarified the exact role of “Dai Dai” in the album project. The FIFA Sound project has already released several songs, including “Lighter” by Jelly Roll and Carín León, “Por Ella” by Belinda and Los Ángeles Azules, “Echo” by Daddy Yankee and Shenseea, “Illuminate” by Jessie Reyez and Elyanna, “Goals” by Lisa, Anitta, and Rema, and “Game Time” by Future and Tyla.

Among them, “Goals” drew major attention for bringing together K-pop, Latin pop, and Afrobeats, while “Game Time” highlighted Future and Tyla’s influence across the American and African music markets. For now, the biggest mystery remains the hidden anthem slots. Fans are now waiting to see whether FIFA will reveal BTS, Madonna, Katy Perry, or other major global stars when the full album lineup is officially announced.

With World Cup 2026 already shaping up to be both a sports event and a global music festival, FIFA’s mysterious poster has made the countdown even more intense.
