FIFA is breaking new ground at the 2026 World Cup Final with its first‑ever halftime show, featuring Madonna, Shakira, and BTS. Scheduled for July 19 at MetLife Stadium, the performance will be curated by Chris Martin of Coldplay and produced in partnership with Global Citizen. Beyond the spectacle, the event carries a philanthropic mission: proceeds will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, expanding access to education worldwide. Madonna’s appearance coincides with her upcoming album Confessions II, Shakira debuts her anthem Dai Dai with Burna Boy, and BTS reunites post‑military service, promising a cultural milestone on football’s biggest stage.
