Justin Bieber and several artists have joined Shakira, Madonna, and BTS to complete the FIFA World Cup Halftime Show lineup for the final. The 2026 World Cup Final, scheduled for July 19th at MetLife Stadium, will make history as the first in the competition to feature a halftime show. With BTS, Madonna, and Shakira already confirmed, Justin Bieber has now been announced as the latest headline addition to a star-studded lineup that continues to grow. On Wednesday, July 8th, FIFA released a statement confirming that Canadian pop star Justin Bieber will join the bill as a co-headliner of what has officially been dubbed the World Cup Final Halftime Show, alongside Madonna, Shakira, and BTS. FIFA president Gianni Infantino spoke to the announcement: “When it comes to what the world needs, there is nothing more important than education. We are proud to have Justin Bieber joining Madonna, Shakira and BTS to co-headline the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Halftime Show in support of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund and our mission to expand access to quality education and football opportunities for children around the world.“ Bieber also weighed in on joining the lineup. “The World Cup brings the world together in a way nothing else can. I’m grateful to be part of this Halftime Show, and even more grateful knowing it’s already helping expand access to education for children around the world,” he said to FIFA. Justin Bieber to co-headline first-ever FIFA World Cup™ Final Halftime Show with Madonna, Shakira and BTS! 🤩🎶— FIFA (@FIFAcom) July 8, 2026 The complete World Cup Final Halftime Show lineup Bieber joins the previously announced co-headliners Madonna, Shakira, and BTS for a show curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin. The latest announcement also introduced several new additions to the bill, including Burna Boy, Gustavo Dudamel, and the PS 22 Chorus. Burna Boy became one of the tournament’s most recognizable musical presences, his collaboration with Shakira on “Dai Dai” becoming the anthem that greeted players onto the field throughout the competition. Also joining the lineup is Gustavo Dudamel, the Venezuelan conductor and Music and Artistic Director of the New York Philharmonic, alongside the PS 22 Chorus, a group of elementary school students from Graniteville, Staten Island directed by Gregg Breinberg and past winners of a Webby Award. All seven artists, each representing a different region of the world, are set to perform across an 11-minute broadcast window. Whether FIFA will extend the traditional 15-minute halftime break to accommodate the full show remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: MetLife Stadium is set to host one of the most ambitious halftime performances in sports history.

After comfortably defeating Algeria, Switzerland face Colombia in the Round of 16. With both teams being very solid, the match is expected to be highly competitive. Nevertheless, head coach Murat Yakin will be without Johan Manzambi, his team's top scorer. Switzerland have established as one of the most competitive national teams at the 2026 World Cup. Solid in defense and organized in attack, they have caused plenty of problems for their opponents, reaching the Round of 16 as one of the tournament’s surprise teams. Nevertheless, head coach Murat Yakin faces a difficult challenge against Colombia, as he will be without Johan Manzambi, his team’s top scorer in the tournament. Johan Manzambi suffered a knee injury in Switzerland’s latest training session. After undergoing an MRI scan, he has been ruled out of the match against Colombia. Despite being only 19 years old, he established as the national team’s best player, scoring three goals and providing two assists. Head coach Murat Yakin has been forced to make adjustments to his lineup, needing to find goals from a different approach. Although Manzambi will miss the match against Colombia, he has not been ruled out for the rest of the 2026 World Cup, according to Blick. If Switzerland advance to the quarterfinals, the 19-year-old star could return to the starting lineup, looking to maintain the team’s goalscoring and creative threat. Nevertheless, it is not yet known whether he will be able to play the full 90 minutes or if he will have limited playing time. In Johan’s absence, Murat Yakin has decided to start Ardon Jashari as the attacking midfielder. Although he is not a prolific goalscorer, Switzerland could gain much more control of possession, limiting Colombia. Therefore, Dan Ndoye and Fabian Rieder will have the task of contributing in both goalscoring and creativity, as they face a solid defense. Nevertheless, all eyes will be on Breel Embolo, who is the team’s second-leading goalscorer. Breel Embolo #7 of Switzerland celebrates a goal vs Algeria. Granit Xhaka will be key to Switzerland’s victory over Colombia Throughout the 2026 World Cup, Colombia have been one of the most solid national teams, dominating possession through Gustavo Puerta. Therefore, Switzerland face one of their biggest challenges, as they will have to go toe-to-toe with their opponents. With this in mind, Murat Yakin’s team will need the best version of Granit Xhaka, as he could be key to controlling the match and leading his team to victory. In case Granit Xhaka manages to control the tempo of the match, Colombia would lose their best version, forcing them to adapt during the game. By controlling possession, Fabian Rieder and Ardon Jashari will be essential in finding space. Without Johan Manzambi on the pitch, Switzerland need to dominate possession to create more chances in front of goal, as all eyes will be on Breel Embolo.
France’s 1-0 victory over Paraguay in the World Cup Round of 16 was not a spectacular performance. It was a tactical battle in which France had to solve one of the tournament’s most stubborn defensive structures, while Paraguay attempted to turn the game into a low-event contest that would increase the possibility of an upset. […] The post World Cup: Tactical Breakdown as France Edge Out Paraguay In Feisty Round-of-16 Clash appeared first on SoccerNews.
Track Paraguay's updated FIFA World Ranking and tournament statistics before their 2026 World Cup Round of 32 knockout clash against 10th-ranked Germany. The single-elimination bracket has presented Paraguay with the ultimate David vs. Goliath narrative. After surviving a highly physical baseline group cycle, the South American underdogs are mapping out a major upset strategy for the biggest match of their modern era against Germany. Reflecting this tournament progress on the live leaderboard index, Paraguay has climbed to a live, unofficial position of 37th in the FIFA Men’s World Ranking. While La Albirroja officially stepped on North American soil occupying the 41st global seat on June 11, their hard-fought path out of the initial stage of the 2026 World Cup has forced an upward trend in the algorithm. Defying the odds to continue their campaign means their baseline metrics are trending in the right direction just as they run headfirst into a traditional elite power. The Round of 32 Seeding Equation The challenge ahead is clearly outlined by a massive numerical gulf on the international ladder. Germany commands the 12th spot globally on the official leaderboard, carrying a dominant tier of 1,726.22 points. While the paper metrics present a clear separation, Paraguay’s defensive growth since their opening matchday has given them a distinct competitive identity. Comparative Knockout Baseline & Global Rank CountryFIFA RankPointsGoal differenceGermany12th6+6Paraguay37th4-2 Gustavo Alfaro’s side shook off a heavy 4-1 opening blowout against the United States to secure their survival by executing back-to-back clean sheets. A crucial 1-0 victory over Turkiye followed by a gritty 0-0 stalemate with Australia allowed them to claim one of the highly coveted third-place wildcard tickets. Historic context Paraguay achieved its absolute competitive peak back in 2001, when a golden generation briefly drove them to a historic peak of 8th in the world. Conversely, their absolute lowest floor came during a severe modern transition period that saw them plummet to 103rd globally. Because World Cup knockout ties carry the highest possible match-weight multiplier in the FIFA calculation matrix, the pitch in the Round of 32 functions as a high-yield point environment. A defeat against a giant like Germany carries almost zero mathematical penalty for a 37th-ranked underdog, giving Paraguay complete freedom to play without fear.
