Global Football President Gianni Infantino said on Wednesday that the 2026 World Cup final in New Jersey will make history by showing half the time in the Super Bowl. FIFA president said that the members of the Coldly Pile, Chris Martin and Wel Harvey, will determine the artists who will perform. “I can confirm the first show at the end of the first half in the FIFA World Cup final in New York/New Jersey,” wrote on Instagram. “This will be a historical moment for the FIFA World Cup and a hug that is worthy of the largest sporting event in the world.”
Infantino revealed the decision after a meeting of commercial partners and media professionals in FIFA in Dallas before the 2026 Championship, which will be hosted in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
No other information has been revealed about specific details or the duration of the first half display by Infantino.
This step reflects the show during the Copa America final last year in Miami, when the Colombian star Shakira at the end of the first half at the Hard Rock Stadium.
Infantino added that FIFA also planned “to seize” Times Square in the New York on the last weekend of the tournament.
