Tems, the Afrobeats artist, is set to perform at the first-ever halftime show at a FIFA Club World Cup Final this July. She will be joined by Doja Cat and J Balvin. This strategic lineup marks a significant milestone as the FIFA Club World Cup final will now feature a halftime show.
Beyond entertainment, this performance holds a deeper purpose. Curated by Chris Martin of Coldplay, the show supports the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. This initiative aims to raise $100 million to enhance educational access and youth football programs worldwide. The show, which will be streamed for free on DAZN.com, seamlessly weaves together sport, music, and global development efforts.
Tems expressed her excitement about the upcoming performance, emphasizing its potential to unite people through music and football. She envisioned a moment of celebration, where football, music, and the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund would work together to improve the lives of millions of children.
The synergy of these two global languages is the driving force behind the initiative’s ambitious goals.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino echoed Tems’ sentiments, describing the collaboration with Global Citizen as a historic moment. He emphasized their shared commitment to making history on a special occasion where football and music unite the world.
Infantino further elaborated on the partnership’s purpose, stating that FIFA and Global Citizen are collaborating to support a powerful cause: providing every child with the opportunity to learn, play, and dream. He expressed confidence that this show will leave an unforgettable impact, not only through its spectacle but also through its lasting influence.
The FIFA Club World Cup, which will commence on June 13, will showcase a diverse group of 32 teams from various countries, including Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Inter Miami CF.
