The World Cup final on Sunday included a 27-minute half-time show with performances from Madonna, BTS, Justin Bieber, and Shakira. The tournament's first Super Bowl-style musical performance caused controversy due to the International Football Association Board's 15-minute limit for half-time. The acts were not paid, but the event aimed to raise money for a FIFA education fund.
