FIFA has announced that global music sensations J Balvin, Doja Cat, and Tems will perform at the first-ever FIFA Club World Cup Final Halftime Show, set for Sunday, July 13, 2025, at MetLife Stadium in New York, New Jersey.
The landmark performance marks the debut of a halftime show at a FIFA club competition and will be broadcast globally, coinciding with the final match of the tournament — a historic moment that will see the crowning of the world’s first official club champion under FIFA’s new 32-team format.
Curated by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, the show is part of a broader initiative to spotlight education access through the newly launched FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise $100 million to support quality learning opportunities for children worldwide.
“This is a historic moment—for me, for Latin culture, and for every kid who dreams big,” said Colombian superstar J Balvin. Nigerian artist Tems added, “We’re going to bring the world together for a beautiful moment — to celebrate football and the unity that music brings.”
The FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund was unveiled earlier this year during the Global Citizen NOW Summit. FIFA President Gianni Infantino underscored the vision behind the partnership: “Together we are going to make history on a special occasion where football and music unite the world.”
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is poised to be the largest global club tournament to date, with millions of fans worldwide expected to tune in for both the action on the pitch and the star-studded musical celebration.
