NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The World Cup final will feature a star-studded halftime show headlined by Madonna, Shakira and boy-band BTS.<\/p>\n

FIFA announced Thursday that, for the first time, the final at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19 will include a Super Bowl-style concert.<\/p>\n

Soccer’s governing body said the show would support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which is raising $100 million to help children access education and soccer.<\/p>\n

FIFA president Gianni Infantino said it would bring together \u201cmusic and football on the biggest stage in sport for a very special cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have a position of responsibility, you want to do everything you can to have a real impact,\u201d Infantino said at the Global Citizen NOW conference in New York Thursday. \u201cNot everyone can become a world champion, but everyone can become a little bit better by having the right education. So we embrace that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show will be curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin, who came up with the idea four years ago while watching the previous World Cup, said Hugh Evans, CEO of the nonprofit Global Citizen, which has partnered with FIFA on the halftime show and the education fund.<\/p>\n

Shakira said at the conference that she\u2019s spent her entire adult life \u201cmaking songs and building schools,\u201d referring to her nonprofit Barefoot Foundation\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, during this World Cup, those two paths meet,\u201d said the \u201cHips Don’t Lie\u201d superstar, who added she is hoping for her homeland of Colombia to make it to the World Cup final.<\/p>\n

The Super Bowl is famed for its halftime show, attracting the world’s biggest stars for spectacular performances. This year featured Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny. Previous headliners included Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Prince, Bruce Springsteen and Rihanna.<\/p>\n

But halftime shows are not commonplace in soccer, with events such as the Champions League final featuring a prematch concert. On May 30, the Killers will headline European club soccer’s biggest game between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal in Budapest.<\/p>\n

Evans told The Associated Press in an interview that everyone involved in the halftime show are huge soccer fans who wanted to ensure the performances would be \u201csignificantly shorter than the 15-minute mark,\u201d which is the traditional interval in a match. \u201cSoccer fans around the world can be rest assured knowing that we\u2019re very respectful of the game,” Evans said.<\/p>\n

Hamish Hamilton, who directed the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony and most Super Bowl halftime shows in recent memory, will direct the World Cup halftime show, said Evans.<\/p>\n

The World Cup is co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico and runs through June and July.<\/p>\n
