On Sunday, July 13th, a final of the FIFA Club World Championship in the United States took place for the first time.

Stage in the middle of football fans
In addition to J Balvin, Tems and Doja Cat, Coldplay, together with Emmanuel Kelly, also performed the half-time show of the club World Cup on a stage that had been constructed in the upper viewers: interior ranks. The construction should avoid damage to the freshly laid lawn and at the same time enable a lower amount of time when converting. This ensured that the artists almost directly appeared between the spectators: inside. You can find out which these were and how they arrived at the crowd here.
J Balvin and Tems inspire
At first the Colombian singer J Balvin entered the stage and performed one of his biggest songs live with “Mi Gente”. Later he also performed the hit “Reggaeton”, followed by the Nigerian musician Tems, the “Love Me Jeje”. With a striking staging including a large dance performance in the ranks of the stadium, the artists filled the half -time of the final.
Show à la Super-Bowl half-time?
Doja Cat also caused cheering and applause in the audience when she presented one of her most famous hits, “Woman”, on the Stage in the Metlife stage.
Finally, Coldplay performed together with Emmanuel Kelly. For Kelly, who was born in Iraq with underdeveloped limbs due to a prenatal burden of chemical fighting materials in Iraq, the appearance with the band around front man Chris Martin was something very special. For him, it is more than just a personal milestone to be part of the first half-time show of a FIFA club World Cup-rather it means visibility and hope for every child with disabilities that it has ever been said that something was not possible. Together with Coldplay, he performed “A Sky Full of Stars” in front of thousands of observers: inside.
