Tems, Colombian hitmaker J Balvin, and American rapper Doja Cat have been announced as headliners for the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup Halftime Show, FIFA and Global Citizen revealed in a joint statement on Monday.
The historic performance will take place on July 13 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, marking the first-ever halftime show in any FIFA competition.
“For the first-ever halftime show in a FIFA competition, we’re proud to partner with Global Citizen to bring together a global superstar lineup,” said FIFA president Gianni Infantino. “Together we are going to make history on a special occasion where football and music unite the world.”
Infantino also highlighted the social impact of the event, stating that proceeds from ticket sales will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, aimed at giving children around the world access to learning, play, and opportunity.
J Balvin celebrated the moment, saying: “From Medellín to MetLife — I’m honored to headline the first-ever halftime show of the FIFA Club World Cup final. It’s a historic moment — for me, for Latin culture, and for every kid who dreams big.”
Tems also shared her excitement: “We’re going to bring the world together for a beautiful moment — to celebrate football, feel the unity that music brings, and improve the lives of millions of children through the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. I can’t wait — see you at the FIFA Club World Cup final!”
The FIFA Club World Cup will be held in the United States from June 14 to July 13. Global Citizen is also set to produce the FIFA World Cup Final next year.
