For the first time ever, the FIFA Club World Cup Final will feature a halftime performance—and it’s already shaping up to be unforgettable.
At the heart of this groundbreaking show is Nigeria’s own Tems, who will be hitting the stage alongside global stars Doja Cat and J Balvin on July 13 at the iconic MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The announcement marks a bold step by FIFA as it redefines the fan experience at its newly expanded 32-team Club World Cup tournament.
The show isn’t just about entertainment—it’s a celebration of culture, music, and the global language of football.
Curated by none other than Coldplay’s Chris Martin, the halftime show is being produced in partnership with Global Citizen, with a deeper mission in mind: to raise $100 million through the FIFA Global Education Fund, supporting access to education worldwide.
Tems’ involvement is a major moment not only for Afrobeats but also for African representation on the global stage.
From Lagos to the world, her soulful voice and signature sound are set to captivate millions.
Expressing her excitement, Tems said:“We are 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 Club World Cup final!”
The FIFA Club World Cup runs from June 14 to July 13, but all eyes are now on the final—and the electric halftime show that could become the Super Bowl of world football.
