Musical Presence Throughout the Tournament

Shakira's influence extended beyond the final match. Her song "Puntería," a collaboration with Cardi B, was the official song for TelevisaUnivision's coverage of Copa América™️ CONMEBOL 2024 in the United States. This track added to the excitement of the tournament, energizing fans and enhancing the viewing experience.

A Record of Iconic Performances

Shakira's appearance at Copa América 2024 adds to her impressive record of performing at major global football events.
