For the first time in FIFA World Cup™ history, the final featured a halftime show, bringing together global artists for a singular moment at the intersection of sport, culture, and purpose, to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.
Shakira performed her global number 1 smash hit, ‘Dai Dai,’ which is the official anthem of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.
