FIFA has announced that pop icons Madonna and Shakira, along with K-pop group BTS, will perform during the halftime show of the FIFA World Cup 2026 final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19. This will be the first time in World Cup history that a closing ceremony is held during the final’s halftime. The event will feature a Super Bowl–style concert, marking a new entertainment milestone for the tournament jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Shakira, who previously performed at the 2006, 2010, and 2014 World Cups, has recorded a new song titled “Dai Dai” with Nigerian artist Burna Boy, filmed at Brazil’s Maracanã Stadium. The halftime show will be curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin. FIFA President Gianni Infantino described the event as a historic moment for the sport.
Proceeds from the halftime show will go to FIFA’s Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise $100 million to support children worldwide. FIFA also plans a special festival at New York’s Times Square during the tournament’s final week.
