The U.S. men's national team arguably had its best win ever at a World Cup, with striker Folarin Balogun becoming a standout performer in the tournament so far. Mexico opened the tournament with a strong showing against South Africa, starting the 2026 World Cup with a win on home turf. South Korea beat out Czechia on Thursday, while early matches featured Netherlands over Switzerland, with Patrick Brandner and Artnautović making it 3-1 in their game.

Global music superstar Shakira and Nigerian Afrobeats giant Burna Boy have teamed up to release ‘Dai Dai’, the official song for the FIFA World Cup 2026.

World Cup Final to Feature Historic Show

The 2026 FIFA World Cup final will feature a major half-time entertainment show for the first time in the tournament’s history, as organisers prepare for a global spectacle at the championship match in New Jersey on 19 July. The tournament will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. According to reports, the half-time performance is expected to last around 11 minutes, although earlier speculation suggested it could run beyond the traditional 15-minute interval allowed under football regulations. Last year’s Club World Cup final between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain featured a half-time show that lasted more than 24 minutes. While pre-match entertainment has become common at major football events such as the UEFA Champions League final, this will mark the first official half-time show ever staged during a FIFA World Cup final. Among the artists linked to the […]

Despite its global smash—garnering over 4.3 billion views on YouTube and almost a billion Spotify streams—evidence of charitable distribution remains unclear. According to Freshlyground, the South African band that collaborated with Shakira on the track, clarity has been elusive. Co-founder Simon Attwell revealed that while the original agreement stated proceeds would aid African causes, the details of the charity beneficiaries have shifted over time from being chosen by artists to being allocated solely by Shakira, then handed over to FIFA’s “20 Centres for 2010” initiative. But here’s the twist—the “20 Centres for 2010” campaign reportedly concluded in 2014. That means royalties have continued flowing ever since, […]
