According to The Athletic, the Metropolitan Stadium, the venue for the Club World Cup final, is setting up a stage, and a midfield show will be held.
TA reported that FIFA confirmed to him this week that this stage, which resembles the podium structure, was prepared for the Club World Cup midfielder.
J-Balvin, Doja Cat, Tems and Emmanuel Kelly, Cool Play home Chris Martin and others will attend the performance. The stage hanging high in the top stands of the stadium will make history. This is the first time in all events in decades that the performance show will be arranged during the halftime period of the game.
To protect the competition's lawn from damage, they set up a high-tech stage in the high-rise stands, using a total of about 18 tons of equipment, sets and trusses.
TA said that although this 15-minute midfield performance was novel, it was consistent with FIFA's purpose of expanding the New World Club Cup. Compared with the American sports world, European football has fewer traditions of midfield show, and the NFL's Super Bowl midfield show is the pinnacle of such performances.
Although FIFA has never held a midfield show in the past, SAF took the risk of inviting Shakira to complete the first midfield show in the history of the event in the Copa America final in Miami last year. The arrangement at that time was controversial because it might lead to an extended intermission.
FIFA executives believe that the model of the United States integrating sports and entertainment is the reason why many football events have settled in the United States in recent years, and it is also the core concept that will be vigorously promoted in the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup.
The pre-match ceremony will be added to this Club World Cup final. The pre-match event is divided into three parts: first, the "Countdown to the Finals" session, followed by FIFA music ambassadors Robbie Williams and Laura Bosini performing the theme song "Desire", and finally the "Salute to the hosts of the event", including playing the US national anthem, a guard of honor performance, and what FIFA described as "the fighter jet formation flight and brilliant fireworks show that ignites the entire audience."
TA summarizes, it can be confirmed that this performance will accumulate valuable experience for the 2026 World Cup.
