World Cup Half‑Time Show Set to Debut with Shakira, BTS and Madonna

The tournament will break new ground by presenting a half‑time concert headlined by global icons Shakira, BTS, Madonna and Burna Boy. Organisers have coordinated the stage design to minimise impact on the playing surface and lighting conditions.

While the 15‑minute break offers players a brief respite, coaches worry about potential disruptions to rhythm and momentum. The spectacle promises to blend sport and entertainment in an unprecedented way.
