Nigerian Grammy-winning star Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has been officially confirmed as a headline performer for the halftime show at the FIFA Club World Cup final on July 13, 2025, at the MetLife Stadium, USA.
The historic event marks the first-ever halftime show at a FIFA Club World Cup final, and it promises to be a spectacle. Tems will be joined by Colombian global icon J Balvin and American pop powerhouse Doja Cat, in a performance produced by Global Citizen that will be broadcast live around the world.
Tems, visibly thrilled by the announcement, shared her excitement with fans and supporters:
“We’re going to bring the world together for a beautiful moment — to celebrate football, feel the unity that music brings, and help improve the lives of millions of children through the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund (FGCEF).
I can’t wait. See you at the FIFA Club World Cup final!”
