FIFA announces Super Bowl-style World Cup final halftime show featuring Madonna, Shakira and BTS

The upcoming World Cup final is set to be an unforgettable event with a star-studded halftime show featuring music icons Madonna, Shakira, and boy-band BTS. This groundbreaking concert, reminiscent of the Super Bowl halftime show, will take place at the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19.

In a historic move, FIFA has announced that this halftime show will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, aiming to raise $100 million to provide children with access to education and soccer opportunities. FIFA president Gianni Infantino expressed his excitement for the show, stating that it will combine the worlds of music and football on the grandest stage in sports for a noble cause.

The show will be curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin, adding to the anticipation for what promises to be a spectacular performance. While halftime shows are a staple of events like the Super Bowl, they are relatively rare in soccer. However, FIFA is set to change that with this year’s World Cup final halftime show, described as a moment that intersects sport, culture, and purpose, broadcasted live to a global audience.

This year’s World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, has already been filled with excitement and memorable moments. With the addition of this star-studded halftime show, the final promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans around the world.
