Justin Bieber has joined the star-studded list of half-time performers who will close out the 2026 World Cup in New York.
The Canadian pop star will perform alongside Madonna, Shakira and K-pop ensemble BTS during the tournament’s first-ever, Super Bowl-style half-time show on 19 July.
Burna Boy, Gustavo Dudamel and the PS22 Chorus featuring Coldplay, and the Sesame Street muppets are also set to appear during the 11-minute set, which supports the Fifa Global Citizen Education Fund.
The Fifa half-time show has been curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin and will raise money for the Fifa Global Citizen Education Fund, an initiative working to raise $100m (£73m) for children worldwide.
