The FIFA President announced an innovation in the 2026 World Cup final

During the break of the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals, a large-scale show will be organized for the first time in the history of the tournament. This was announced by the head of the International Football Federation (FIFA) Gianni Infantino.

"For the first time in history, we will have a halftime show at the World Cup finals, which will be held on July 19 in New Jersey. I can't reveal who exactly will perform yet, but there will be several artists. It will be the greatest show on Earth — fiction," Infantino's words are quoted by the Spanish newspaper AS.

The FIFA World Cup will be held in the USA, Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19.

On April 16, the FIFA President noted the desire of the Iranian national football team to play at the 2026 World Cup. He said that two weeks ago he visited the location of the national team during a training camp in Antalya. According to him, the players themselves express an active desire to participate in the World Cup.

American leader Donald Trump said on March 12 that the Iranian national team could participate in the World Cup in 2026, but this is inappropriate. The day before, the Iranian national team refused to participate in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
