| Tems set to shine at FIFA Club World Cup 2025 |
Nigerian superstar Tems is set to take center stage at the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup final halftime show, marking a major milestone for both global football and African music.
The event, scheduled for July 13 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, will also feature international stars Doja Cat and J Balvin, but for many Nigerian fans, all eyes will be on Tems.
The Grammy-winning singer, known for her soulful voice and genre-blending sound, will perform as part of a groundbreaking initiative by FIFA and Global Citizen.
Curated by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, the show aims to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which seeks to raise $100 million to improve access to education worldwide.
Tems expressed her excitement and pride in being part of this historic moment.
“We’re going to bring the world together for a beautiful moment, to celebrate football, feel the unity that music brings, and improve the lives of millions of children through the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund,” she said. “I can’t wait.”
The 2025 Club World Cup will be the first of its kind in this expanded format, hosting 32 teams across 12 venues in the United States. Powerhouses like Real Madrid, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain will compete, with Manchester City entering as the reigning champions.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino hailed the halftime show as a moment where “football and music unite the world,” promising a performance that will leave a lasting legacy, not just on the pitch, but in lives around the globe.
