    Drake Will Perform At Halftime During 2026 World Cup โ€“ FIFA President

    FIFA President Gianni Infantino has discussed the prospect of Canadian superstar Drake headlining the first-ever Halftime Show at the 2026 World Cup Final.

    The world football governing body recently announced that it is working with Coldplayโ€™s lead vocalist, Chris Martin, to curate the first Super Bowl-style halftime show at the World Cup final next year.

    In a chat with Fox5, Infantino welcomed the suggestion of Drake being the maiden headliner as a โ€œgood ideaโ€.

    The co-host said, โ€œI have a great idea for you the halftime: Drake! Because Kendrick Lamar did his thing at the Super Bowlโ€ฆโ€

    Infantino replied: โ€œSo we can create a bit of rivalry, right?

    โ€œThatโ€™s a good idea. Actually, Drake was with us when we announced the host cities [of the tournament]โ€ฆ We will do that [sign him for the halftime show].โ€

    The MetLife Stadium in New Jersey โ€” to be known as New York New Jersey Stadium for the World Cup โ€” will host the final on July 19, 2026.

    FIFA is also staging what Infantino called a โ€œtakeoverโ€ of Times Square for the final weekend of the tournament, which will be co-hosted by the US, Mexico and Canada.
