    Drake Will Perform At Halftime During 2026 World Cup – 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 Coldplay’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 “good idea”.

    The co-host said, “I have a great idea for you the halftime: Drake! Because Kendrick Lamar did his thing at the Super Bowl…”

    Infantino replied: “So we can create a bit of rivalry, right?

    “That’s a good idea. Actually, Drake was with us when we announced the host cities [of the tournament]… We will do that [sign him for the halftime show].”

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

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