Infantino Says Drake Could Headline the First World Cup Halftime Show in 2026
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has responded to the idea of Canadian superstar Drake headlining the first-ever halftime show at the 2026 World Cup final.
FIFA recently announced that Coldplay’s lead singer, Chris Martin, is helping plan a Super Bowl-style halftime show for next year’s World Cup final.
During an interview with Fox5, Infantino reacted positively to the suggestion of Drake being the main act.
The host proposed the idea, saying, “I have a great idea for the halftime show — Drake! Since Kendrick Lamar did his thing at the Super Bowl…”
Infantino agreed, saying, “That’s a good idea. We could create a bit of rivalry, right? Actually, Drake was with us when we announced the host cities… We’ll work on getting him for the halftime show.”
The 2026 World Cup final will be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which will be renamed New York New Jersey Stadium for the tournament, on July 19, 2026. FIFA also plans to host a major event at Times Square during the final weekend of the competition, which will be co-hosted by the US, Mexico, and Canada.
Nigerian pastor Dolapo Lawal spoke on the reality of living abroad and what people do not see online.
He shared the insight that many Nigerians who relocate to other countries mainly move there for survival and not necessarily for wealth.
“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires? They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive.”
He then shared that it is better to be a billionaire in Nigeria and stated that success can sometimes come easier at home than relocating abroad.
Sandra has spoken out and broken her silence on the alleged affair involving Chike. She shared that she was faithful throughout her marriage and claimed that only Frank Edoho cheated.
Sandra revealed that Frank allegedly cheated multiple times and even claimed that a particular woman was frequently seen around their home, stating that he was definitely involved with her.
She also stated that she has evidence against Frank, including receipts from hotels and places where he allegedly met with his dates.
Popular singer Shakira and Nigerian singer Burna Boy have reportedly released “Daidia,” a song linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It was also noted that the two artists are expected to perform during the event, and the song for the occasion has now been released.
This will not be the first time Shakira will perform for the World Cup. Whenever her name is mentioned, many people remember “Waka Waka,” the iconic World Cup song released for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Many fans are already excited and cannot wait to see the live performance on the big stage.
