Justin Bieber will perform at the World Cup final halftime show, joining fellow headliners Madonna, Shakira, and BTS, FIFA announced Wednesday.
Afrobeats star Burna Boy, Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel, and the PS22 Chorus will also perform, with Coldplay joining the choir.
The 11-minute halftime performance, curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin, will take place during the final on July 19 and support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise $100 million to help children access education and soccer.
“The FIFA World Cup brings the world together in a way nothing else can,” Bieber said in a statement. “I’m grateful to be part of this Halftime Show, and even more grateful knowing it’s already helping expand access to education for children around the world.”
