2026 World Cup final is set to take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. And Infantino revealed that Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin and the band’s manager Phil Harvey. Will help them choose the halftime show.

“I can confirm that there will be a halftime show for the first time in a World Cup final, in New Jersey. In partnership with Global Citizen. โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที. This will be a historic moment in the FIFA World Cup and a show befitting of the biggest sporting event in the world,” Infantino said.

“We are also discussing hosting an event in Times Square during the final week of the 2026 World Cup. Between the third-place playoff and the final. “

Both games will be incredible, featuring the best players in the world. And what better way to celebrate than in Times Square, New York City.” “

I would like to thank Hugh Evans, CEO of Global Citizen, and his incredible team for helping us put on an amazing show. I also want to thank Chris Martin and Phil Harvey from Coldplay, who will be working with FIFA to select the halftime show, just like they did in Times Square.”

No details have been released on the format of the halftime show or how long it will last, although Shakira’s halftime show at the 2024 Copa America final was extended to 25 minutes.
