He wrote on Instagram: “I can confirm the first ever half-time show at a FIFA World Cup final in New York New Jersey, in association with Global Citizen. This will be a historic moment for the FIFA World Cup and a show befitting the biggest sporting event in the world.
“We also spoke about how FIFA will take over Times Square for the final weekend of the FIFA World Cup in 2026, during both the bronze final match and final.
“These will be two incredible matches, featuring some of the best players in the world, and what better way to celebrate them than in the historic Times Square in New York City.
In recent years, the Super Bowl has featured global superstars such as Beyonce, Rihanna, and Usher at the helm.
Ealier this year, Kendrick Lamar took to the Super Bowl stage to perform the censored version of his Drake diss track.
