Shakira, Madonna, BTS to perform at halftime of World Cup final

The World Cup final will feature a host of world-famous music stars. The 2026 World Cup final will be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19. During the break, a spectacular concert will be performed by pop queen Madonna , Colombian star Shakira and Korean band BTS .

FIFA, the world football governing body, confirmed the news on Thursday. Such a big event is usually seen during the break of the American ‘Super Bowl’ football tournament, but this is the first time that something like this is going to happen in the final of the World Cup.

Shakira’s new song ‘Dai Dai’ Do you remember the famous ‘Waka Waka’ song from the 2010 World Cup? Shakira is back with the official song of the World Cup. This time the song is titled ‘Dai Dai’ . Nigerian artist Burna Boy has sung with Shakira in the song. Shakira has already created great excitement in the minds of fans by releasing some parts of the video of the song at the Maracana Stadium in Brazil.

Doubts over the interval time Football matches usually have a 15-minute break. But when big stars like Madonna, Shakira or BTS take the stage, many fear that the interval time could increase significantly. Chris Martin of the band Coldplay is in charge of the entire event.

FIFA Fund for Children said it aims to raise $100 million from this major event, which will be used to educate children around the world.

In all, this huge 48-team World Cup is going to start from June 11. Now, viewers are eagerly waiting to see this new spectacle of glamour along with football on the field.
