Get ready for a first in football history. The FIFA Club World Cup Final is set to feature its inaugural halftime show, with an electrifying lineup of global music titans: J Balvin, Doja Cat and Tems. This groundbreaking performance will take place on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, marking a significant new dimension for a major FIFA tournament.
The star-studded event is being produced by Global Citizen and curated by none other than Coldplay‘s frontman, Chris Martin. This collaboration extends beyond entertainment, serving a powerful philanthropic purpose: to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise $100 million USD to improve access to quality education for children worldwide. A dollar from every ticket sold for the entire FIFA Club World Cup tournament will be donated to this fund.
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, an expanded 32-team tournament, kicks off on June 14th in the U.S. and culminates with this historic final. J Balvin expressed his honor, calling it a “historic moment” for himself, Latin culture, and dreamers. Tems echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the unity music brings and its power to improve lives. The show promises a blend of Afrobeats, reggaeton, pop and hip-hop, delivered live and for free globally via DAZN.com, with an expected audience of 2 billion viewers. This inaugural halftime spectacle is also seen as a precursor to a similar show planned for the FIFA World Cup Final in 2026, also at MetLife Stadium.
