Justin Bieber in Talks to Perform at FIFA World Cup Final
Justin Bieber is reportedly in negotiations to perform at the halftime show of the FIFA World Cup final. Sources close to the matter say the pop star may join a star-studded lineup that already includes Madonna, Shakira, and BTS.
The championship match is set for July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. This will be the first World Cup final held on U.S. soil, making the event particularly significant for American audiences.
For Justin Bieber, such a performance would mark a return to the big stage after a prolonged hiatus due to health issues. The singer has rarely appeared in public in recent months, and a stadium show could serve as a major comeback.
World Cup final halftime shows have historically featured top-tier artists like Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, and Kendrick Lamar. If Bieber confirms his participation, it would further cement the event's reputation as one of the biggest entertainment spectacles in sports.
Neither Bieber's representatives nor FIFA have officially confirmed the news, but insiders say talks are at an advanced stage. An official announcement is expected in the coming weeks.
The 2026 World Cup final will be the culmination of a tournament hosted across three countries: the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The halftime show is expected to draw billions of viewers worldwide, making it an ideal platform for global superstars.
