For the first time, FIFA will incorporate a part -time show in the World Cup final, and everything indicates that two music goddesses could light the metlife stadium.
The 2026 World Cup final will not only be a football bombing: FIFA has confirmed that, for the first time in history, the decisive game will have its own mid -time showvery in the style of the Super Bowl. And what is already crazy … It could become legendary If the names that are on the table are confirmed: Shakira and Rihanna.
The announcement was made by the very Gianni Infantinopresident of FIFA, who revealed that the event – programs for the July 19, 2026 in it Metlife Stadium (New Jersey)– This show will include with the support of Global Citizen and the creative participation of the team of Coldplaywith Chris Martin and Phil Harvey at the head of the artistic selection. Already in the entrance, that sounds like something epic.
And of course, the networks exploded with rumors, leaks and desires. Accounts like @shhaknews_ and Top Music Universe fed hope: Shakira and Rihanna would be in negotiations to share the stageand fans are already in hysteria mode. “Without Shakira there is no World Cup”, “it would be a pump of sensuality and talent”They are just some of the comments that flood the networks.
Yes indeed, Negotiations seem to be intense. According to the portal The official paparazzithere are “millionaire contracts, creative demands and egos in between.” Something logical, taking into account the caliber of the stars involved.
Shakira, meanwhile, has History with the World Cups: He was in Germany 2006, razed ‘Waka Waka’ in South Africa 2010and returned in Brazil 2014 with ‘la la la’. It is basically the queen of World Cup hymns. Rihanna, although without history with FIFA, swept his show at the Super Bowl 2023demonstrating that you can master the most watched scenario on the planet … pregnant and everything.
And if that were not enough, Shakira and Rihanna have already worked together before. In 2014 they launched ‘Can’t remembero to forget you’a global hit that petized him on YouTube and reached the Top 15 of Billboard Hot 100. Imagine that, but with the whole world looking at 80 thousand people chanting in New Jersey.
Infantino also dropped into a joke that Drake could join the showbecause “he was with us when we announced the host cities.” So yes, The 2026 World Cup aims to be the most musical in history.
Football, Shakira, Rihanna, Drake and Coldplay in the same final? The Metlife can explode.
