Tems performs at Club World Cup final

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Tems captivated a global audience with a breathtaking performance during the halftime show at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final held at MetLife Stadium.

Making history as the first African artist to headline a Club World Cup final halftime show, Tems took the stage alongside international stars Doja Cat and J Balvin, delivering a powerful and soulful rendition of her hit single “Love Me JeJe”, a modern twist on Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 classic.

Dressed in a striking Afrocentric ensemble, Tems brought energy, elegance, and emotion to the global stage, earning thunderous applause from thousands in attendance and praise across social media platforms. Her performance was widely celebrated as a moment of pride for African music and culture.

The show, co-produced by FIFA and Global Citizen, and curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin, marked a major evolution in FIFA’s efforts to blend music with football, ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Tems’ performance, set against the backdrop of Chelsea’s 3–0 victory over PSG, was a cultural milestone — a bold reminder of Africa’s growing influence on the world stage and a triumph for Nigerian artistry on football’s biggest night.
