FIFA President Gianni Infantino has announced that the 2026 World Cup final will have half-time entertainment for the first time in its history.
Infantino also said on Wednesday that the World Cup will “take over” Times Square for the final and third-place match.
The world’s biggest sporting event will follow a tradition akin to the Super Bowl extravaganza by introducing a half-time show.
