FIFA Announces First World Cup Halftime Show with Afrobeats Stars in Focus
FIFA has confirmed a historic halftime show for the 2026 World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The performance will be curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin alongside Phil Harvey and feature multiple global artists. FIFA is also planning a takeover of Times Square for the tournament’s final weekend. Nigeria’s Afrobeats scene has a strong track record on football’s biggest stages. Past performances by Tems, Davido and Burna Boy set the stage for another moment when Afrobeats artists could shine in July 2026.
