NEW YORK: FIFA and Global Citizen, a platform empowering millions to take action against extreme poverty, have announced that Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber will join Madonna, Shakira, and BTS as a co-headliner for the World Cup final halftime show on Jul 19 at the New York New Jersey Stadium.
Justin Bieber joins an elite lineup that also features icons such as Madonna, Shakira, and BTS.
Burna Boy, whose song Dai Dai with Shakira continues to dominate the charts worldwide, will also appear during the 11-minute broadcast.
The halftime performance will be curated by Chris Martin of Coldplay.
The initiative, which seeks to raise US$100 million to expand access to quality education and football opportunities for children globally, has already raised more than US$50 million, with US$1 from every ticket sale for World Cup matches contributing to the cause.
Characters from Sesame Street and The Muppets will also make an appearance during the show.
