By TrendingWire Newsroom

The World Cup 2026 final between Spain and Argentina in New York featured a star-studded pregame and halftime show. Before kickoff at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Post Malone debuted a new song, “Chrome Heartbreaker,” and performed a three-song medley with Swae Lee. Jennifer Hudson sang the U.S. national anthem, and streamer IShowSpeed performed “Champions.” The halftime show included performances by Shakira, BTS, Madonna, and Justin Bieber. Meanwhile, fans planned a protest against U.S. President Donald Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Red cards were distributed to spectators heading to the stadium, with organizers hoping fans would hold them up during the trophy presentation to show their displeasure. Trump and Infantino were expected to hand the trophy to the winning captain. The match itself saw Spain and Argentina compete for the championship in front of a global audience.
