Popular FIFA have their eyes set on taking the upcoming World Cup tournament to the next level as the president in an official announcement confirmed a major change ahead of the 2026 edition.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has announced a groundbreaking development for the 2026 World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium revealing that it will have the first-ever halftime show in the tournament’s history. Chris Martin from Coldplay will be involved in curating the list of artists for the performance, which is set to take place on July 19, 2026.
Unlike previous World Cup finals, such as the 2022 Qatar final between Argentina and France, which featured pre-match performances by artists like Gims and Ozuna, this upcoming final will introduce a comprehensive halftime entertainment spectacle.
Infantino enthusiastically shared the news on Instagram, describing the upcoming halftime show as a “historic moment for the FIFA World Cup” and promising an entertainment experience that matches the magnitude of the world’s most prestigious football tournament.
