Madonna

FIFA has officially announced that Madonna, Shakira, and BTS will headline the first-ever FIFA World Cup final halftime show in 2026. The performance will take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey during the July 19 final. The reveal, made through a teaser featuring Chris Martin and the Muppets, sparked huge online excitement. FIFA also confirmed proceeds from the event will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, aimed at improving children’s access to education and football worldwide.

FIFA’s decision to bring Madonna, Shakira, and BTS to the first-ever World Cup final halftime show has sharply divided soccer fans. Many supporters believe FIFA should have chosen performers from the United States, Mexico, or Canada, while others dislike the idea of a Super Bowl-style show entering soccer. Still, FIFA says the event will promote togetherness and support children’s education worldwide.

For the first time in World Cup history, the final's half-time show will feature live performances from Madonna, Shakira and BTS at MetLife Stadium on July 19. None of the three acts are being paid, instead donating their time to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. The show, curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin, is expected to run 11 minutes, though the full interval will likely exceed FIFA's standard 15-minute limit. With a potential global audience surpassing one billion, the platform alone is the real currency.

Confessions II is directed by David Toro and Solomon Chase (TORSO), the film is built around the first six tracks of her upcoming studio album, 'Confessions II', a follow-up to her critically acclaimed 2005 dance record 'Confessions on a Dance Floor.'

Pop icon Madonna has teamed up with Sabrina Carpenter for their new collaborative single 'Bring Your Love', the lead track from her upcoming album 'Confessions II', according to Variety.
