FIFA make plans to use MetLife playing field for 2026 World Cup final half-time show

FIFA has drafted plans to use the MetLife Stadium field during the half-time show of the World Cup final, making it very likely that the interval for the tournament’s showpiece event on July 19 will run significantly beyond soccer’s usual regulations of 15 minutes.At last year’s Club World Cup final at MetLife, FIFA presented half-time entertainment featuring musicians Doja Cat, J Balvin and Tems but the show did not use the field. Instead, the organizers constructed a stage high up in the stands to avoid any impact on the playing surface.Advertisement
