FIFA, World Cup organisers and final performers
Sunday’s World Cup final
The World Cup final half-time break is expected to last between 20 and 25 minutes to fit an 11-minute Super Bowl-style show. Madonna, Shakira and BTS are among the acts scheduled for the New York New Jersey Stadium interval.
The plan pushes beyond football’s usual 15-minute half-time structure, with FIFA organisers weighing a longer entertainment window. The move follows last year’s Club World Cup final, where a similar show stretched half-time to around 24 minutes.
