FIFA World Cup Final Spectacle Includes First-Ever Halftime Show and Global Viewing Events

The FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and Spain on 19 July will be highlighted by the tournament’s first halftime show. Curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin, the performance features an international lineup that includes Justin Bieber, Shakira, Burna Boy, BTS, Madonna, Gustavo Dudamel, the PS22 Chorus and characters from Sesame Street and The Muppets. FIFA says the show will blend football, music and social impact, broadcast to millions and will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund’s goal of raising $100 million for education and football opportunities for children worldwide.

In Bahrain, venues such as the Elements Lounge at InterContinental, La Med Football Fanzone at The Ritz‑Carlton, the Sherlock Holmes pub at The Gulf Hotel and Typhoon Terrace are hosting live‑screen parties with food, drink and special offers, giving local fans a dedicated setting to watch the final and the halftime spectacle.
