On Monday, June 9, 2025, FIFA and Global Citizen announced that J Balvin, Doja Cat, and Tems will headline the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup™ Halftime Show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Sunday, July 13, 2025.
“From Medellín to MetLife – I’m honored to headline the first-ever halftime show of the FIFA Club World Cup final. It’s a historic moment – for me, for Latin culture, and for every kid who dreams big,” J Balvin said.
“We’re going to bring the world together for a beautiful moment – to celebrate football, feel the unity that music brings, and improve the lives of millions of children through the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. I can’t wait – see you at the FIFA Club World Cup final,” Tems added.
The halftime performance will reportedly benefit the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, a campaign aimed at raising $100 million to expand access to educational resources and soccer. Throughout the FIFA Club World Cup, including the final, one dollar of every ticket purchased will be used to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.
“For the first-ever halftime show in a FIFA competition, we’re proud to partner with Global Citizen to bring together a global superstar lineup,” FIFA President Gianni Infantino said. “Together we are going to make history on a special occasion where football and music unites the world. FIFA and Global Citizen are partnering to support a powerful cause: giving every child the chance to learn, play, and dream. Not only that, but with every ticket sold, we’re investing in their future through the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. This show will be unforgettable – not just for its spectacle on a landmark night, but also for the lasting impact it will make.”
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will kick off on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at 8 p.m. EST in Miami, Florida, as Al Ahly of the Egyptian Premier League plays Inter Miami CF of the MLS.
