The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final gets underway this evening when Chelsea take on Champions League winners PSG.
The revamped version of the competition has drawn a lot of eyes due to its updated format and the use of never seen before referee body cameras.
And another feature which is sure to get the football world talking is the introduction of a halftime show.
In an unprecedented move for the world of football this year's Club World Cup will feature a halftime show.
Something which has long been associated with the Super Bowl and American sports but is now set to make its way into football.
The performance will be staged on a purposely built platform located in the upper stands to protect the pitch from any damage.
Why is there halftime show at the Club World Cup?
The halftime show designed by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin was curated alongside FIFA in support of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise $100 million for education.
Speaking about the halftime show Ivam Faria, Panini Group Chief Executive Officer said 'Panini has been partnering with FIFA for national team competitions since the FIFA World Cup in 1970, and we are delighted to be involved with FIFA now from the launch of the FIFA Club World Cup, an exciting new tournament that will reshape global club football'.
'Given our close engagement with fans from all over the world, Panini is proud to be the presenting partner for the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup halftime show, and to extend our global reach even further on this historical occasion,' he added.
Who’s Performing at the Fifa Club World Cup 2025 Final Halftime Show?
The halftime show will feature Colombian reggaeton singer J Balvin , American singer/rapper Doja Cat and Nigerian afrobeats star Tems.
There will also be performances by Laura Pausini and Robbie Williams ahead of kickoff. The duo have performed the tournament’s official anthem throughout the duration of the month-long competition.
