It sounds like Chris Martin of Coldplay could play a pivotal role in FIFA’s 2026 World Cup halftime show. According to FIFA president Gianni Infantino, Martin and Phil Harvey — who have worked together as a part of Coldplay — are helping find artists to perform the first World Cup halftime show in 2026.

FIFA is preparing for the '26 World Cup, and they're taking a page from the NFL's handbook! The soccer body tapped Coldplay's Chris Martin to find halftime performers -- much like the National Football League does with Jay-Z!

World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium will be the first in the competition's history to include a half time show, FIFA president Gianni Infantino has announced. Coldplay's Chris Martin will help FIFA "finalize the list of artists" who will perform on July 19,
