FIFA has announced an impressive slate of global entertainers set to light up the stage at the 2026 World Cup final draw.
The event, scheduled for tomorrow at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC, is expected to captivate millions of viewers worldwide.
The programme will be led by an all-star trio: supermodel and Emmy-winning television figure Heidi Klum; renowned comedian and actor Kevin Hart; and actor-producer Danny Ramirez, who will bring his signature charm and Hollywood sparkle to this highly anticipated milestone on the road to 2026.
Klum, returning to the World Cup final draw two decades after her first appearance, described the honour as exceptional.
“To be hosting the final draw again, after having taken part in this show 20 years ago in my home country, is truly extraordinary,” Klum said.
“The World Cup unites people like nothing else, and being part of that magic again on an even grander stage with three host nations and 48 teams is such an honour.
Ramirez added, “As someone who grew up playing football, being able to co-host the draw and meet World Cup legends at such a major event is a dream come true.
“With this tournament coming to the United States, where I was born, and Mexico, where I have family roots, it feels even more meaningful. I’m incredibly excited to be part of this show.
FIFA confirmed that audiences can expect remarkable performances from Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams, Nicole Scherzinger, and Village People.
Bocelli one of the most celebrated classical voices of all time will perform alongside global icon Williams, who will share the stage with award-winning American singer and multi-talent Scherzinger.
