Afrobeats star Tems is set to make history as a headliner for the first-ever halftime show at the FIFA Club World Cup final on July 19 at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey. Selected by Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Tems will perform alongside global stars J Balvin and Doja Cat. Her inclusion in the lineup marks a cultural milestone as the tournament, hosted in the US, draws inspiration from the Super Bowl’s entertainment flair. The show is in partnership with Global Citizen, and it aims to raise $100 million for youth development. Given that Tems recently became the first African woman to co-own a Major League Soccer club, the development solidifies her credentials as an artist who bridges music and sports.
