FIFA says the half-time entertainment for Sunday’s World Cup final at MetLife Stadium will be a short, first-of-its-kind segment, following reports of fan complaints about the overall length of the break. One account of FIFA’s position says the show itself is planned to last about 11 minutes and will feature multiple international performers, including Madonna, Shakira, and Justin Bieber. Another outlet reports FIFA is targeting a longer half-time window overall, with a 20-minute break discussed for the match. Taken together, the reporting indicates FIFA distinguishes between the performance portion and the total interruption between halves. Both sources describe the same lineup of headline artists and frame the event as a novelty for the tournament’s history. While fans express frustration about how long they may have to wait during half-time, FIFA’s stated figures suggest the aim is to keep the on-field entertainment relatively brief compared with the wider break period.
