J Balvin, Doja Cat and Tems set to headline inaugural FIFA Club World Cup final halftime show

FIFA revealed on Monday that J Balvin, Doja Cat, and Tems will perform at the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup final Halftime Show on July 13 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

The performance will be curated by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin in partnership with international advocacy organization Global Citizen and produced by Live Nation, Done+Dusted and DPS. The show will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which launched in April with the ambitious goal of raising $100 million to improve access to quality education and soccer programs worldwide.

“We can't end extreme poverty without ensuring every child gets the education they deserve,” Global Citizen Co-Founder and CEO Hugh Evans told FIFA.com. “That’s why, together with our partners at FIFA, we’re calling on football fans everywhere to take action. The FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund brings together the global energy of football and music to raise USD 100 million – and give children around the world a real chance at a better future.

"As the Club World Cup kicks off, we’re asking fans to step up, get involved, and be part of the movement driving real change.”

“For the first-ever halftime show in a FIFA competition, we’re proud to partner with Global Citizen to bring together a global superstar lineup,” Gianni Infantino told FIFA.com. “Together, we are going to make history on a special occasion where football and music unites the world. FIFA and Global Citizen are partnering to support a powerful cause: giving every child the chance to learn, play, and dream. Not only that, but with every ticket sold, we’re investing in their future through the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. This show will be unforgettable – not just for its spectacle on a landmark night, but also for the lasting impact it will make.”

The Halftime Show is part of FIFA's broader strategy to elevate the profile of the expanded 32-team Club World Cup, which runs from June 14 to July 13 across 12 venues in 11 American cities. The show is set to be produced by Global Citizen, in partnership with Live Nation, Done+Dusted, and DPS.

The tournament kicks off on June 14 with Lionel Messi's Inter Miami facing Egypt's Al Ahly in Miami, beginning the month-long competition that will culminate with the final and its headline entertainment event.
