The world of football and music is colliding in an electrifying way this summer. Global superstars Doja Cat and J Balvin are set to headline the first-ever halftime show at the FIFA Club World Cup, marking a historic moment for both the tournament and fans around the globe.

The performance will take place during the final match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which is being held in the United States for the first time. As the eyes of the world tune in to watch the top club teams battle it out for the title, they’ll also be treated to a spectacular musical showcase—infused with energy, rhythm, and star power.

Doja Cat, known for her genre-bending hits like “Paint the Town Red” and “Say So”, will bring her fierce stage presence and unmistakable style to the global stage. She’ll be joined by reggaeton icon J Balvin, whose chart-topping anthems like “Mi Gente” and “Qué Más Pues?” have made him one of the most influential Latin artists of this generation.

In a joint statement, the artists said they were “honored and excited to perform for a global audience of football and music fans” and promised “a show full of surprises, rhythm, and celebration.”

FIFA’s decision to introduce a halftime performance reflects the growing fusion of sports and entertainment, following the model of the NFL’s Super Bowl. The move aims to elevate the Club World Cup’s profile and attract a broader international audience, especially younger viewers who live at the intersection of pop culture and sports.

The final match and halftime show will be broadcast live in over 180 countries, with millions expected to tune in. For music and football lovers alike, it promises to be an unforgettable night.
