The FIFA World Cup 2026 is set to witness a grand event before the tournament comes to an end after the title clash at the MetLife Stadium in New York, New Jersey on Sunday. Spain are waiting to find out their opponents, who will be determined after the second semifinal between Argentina and England at Atlanta on Wednesday.
Football’s governing body, FIFA, announced grand plans for the closing to the biggest-ever World Cup which featured record 48 teams. The FIFA World Cup 2026 was hosted across three countries – United States, Mexico and Canada – over the last month and a half.
Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise will be one of the star attractions in the Closing Ceremony on Sunday. “This star-studded show will feature performances from Laura Pausini, Nicole Scherzinger, Robbie Williams and IShowSpeed, as well as a special appearance by Tom Cruise, bringing together some of the world’s biggest names in music and entertainment for an unforgettable celebration before kick-off,” the FIFA announced in a statement.
Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award winner Jennifer Hudson will be giving a special rendition of the United States national anthem ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final. “One of the world’s most celebrated performers, Hudson’s powerful performance will set the stage for football’s biggest match and the most anticipated moment of the tournament,” the statement added.
The FIFA World Cup 2026 closing ceremony will be produced in partnership with Balich Wonder Studio and is expected to celebrate passion, emotion and global spirit that have defined the 23rd FIFA World Cup.
“Echoing the spirit of the opening ceremonies, which welcomed the world to the greatest stage in Canada, Mexico and the United States, the closing ceremony will bring the FIFA World Cup 2026 full circle through music, culture and football, before we kick off the highly anticipated match that will crown the champions of this groundbreaking tournament,” said Heimo Schirgi, Chief Operating Officer of FIFA World Cup 2026.
