This performance marks a significant shift, with FIFA adopting a halftime show format similar to the NFL’s Super Bowl, scheduled for the first time in the tournament’s history.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino said it would bring together “music and football on the biggest stage in sport for a very special cause.”
“Every child should have the opportunity to dream, and together we can help make that possible,” he posted on Instagram.
