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.
