Okay, Shakira stans, time to assemble! That’s because our Colombian pop queen has revealed that one of her tracks will be the official song for TelevisaUnivision’s “America Cup” coverage. This comes as no surprise, as the “Hips Don’t Lie” hitmaker is well-known for bringing the heat into the sports world, whether it is the Super Bowl, the World Cup, or the America Cup.

Shakira proudly announced the good news at a New York event, where she confirmed that “Puntería” will be the chosen jam for the coverage TelevisaUnivision will make of this soccer tournament. The track comes straight from her latest studio album “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” (“Women No Longer Cry”) and it has none other than rapper Cardi B as a featured artist. Here’s what Shakira said, translated from Spanish:
“The 2024 America Cup is the biggest soccer event this year, and we all so know this song will be the summer track for fans all over the world. It’s the power of our culture and our music.”
While this is not the official song the 2024 America Cup chose, it certainly is a delight for fans that TelevisaUnivision decided to spice up their broadcasting of the event with “Puntería.” This marks yet another time Shakira scores a song aimed at soccer championships. Remember “Waka Waka” for South Africa 2010 and “La La La” for Brazil 2014?
