  • FIFA is reportedly in talks with Justin Bieber to perform at the inaugural halftime show of the World Cup Final on July 19.
  • The 11-minute performance is planned to be a major spectacle, similar to the Super Bowl's halftime show.
  • Bieber's potential participation follows discussions about other major artists like Madonna, Shakira, and BTS performing at the event.

FIFA is reportedly in discussions with Canadian pop star Justin Bieber to headline the first-ever halftime show at the World Cup Final, scheduled for July 19 at MetLife Stadium.

The proposed 11-minute performance aims to be a significant spectacle, drawing inspiration from the halftime shows of the Super Bowl. FIFA is targeting top-tier global artists for this historic event, with Bieber's name added to a list that includes Madonna, Shakira, and the K-pop group BTS.

Interest in Bieber's potential involvement has reportedly resurfaced following his appearance at the opening ceremony. His current availability, as he is not on tour, is seen as an ideal factor for his participation. Chris Martin of Coldplay is reportedly overseeing the artistic direction of the halftime show in collaboration with Global Citizen for a charitable cause.

While an official announcement is pending, reports suggest Bieber is set to join other major artists at the New Jersey venue. The inclusion of such prominent global figures underscores FIFA's ambition to make the World Cup Final halftime show a landmark entertainment event.
