Before the final action kicks off on the pitch for the FIFA World Cup final between France and Argentina, there will be live performances in the closing ceremony for the Qatar showpiece.
The lineup of performers include global music superstars who have been featured on the FIFA World Cup official soundtrack including Nigerian music superstar Davido as well as Aisha, Izuna and Gims, Nora Fatehi, Balqees, Rahma Riad and Manal.
‘Hayya Hayya (Better together)’ will be one of the featured songs during the ceremony and Nora Fatehi, an Indian actress/ musician, is expected to perform a song in Hindi during the ceremony.
The performance is expected to last around 30 minutes to give France and Argentina enough time to warm up and get the stage disassembled before the final.
Reports also suggest there could also be surprise performances with the designated fan zones having already seen performances from different artists like Nigerian superstars Kizz Daniel and Patoranking, as well as American superstars Lil John and Post Malone amongst others after the opening ceremony was headlined by Jungkook of BTS.
