A glimpse of the final event
Previously, the tournament’s opening ceremony had taken place in Al Bayt Stadium. Lusail Stadium has the highest capacity of any World Cup venue at 80,000. Everyone will want to witness Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe compete for the Jules Rimet Trophy. Thus the stadium will likely be at capacity.
Argentina and France will play in the final. The “A night to remember” themed ceremony will last 15 minutes. After 29 days of competition, the tournament will conclude with a 15-minute ceremony that will celebrate the global spirit of the event via poetry and music, according to a statement from FIFA.
Performances on Finale Day of FIFA 2022
Several famous people are expected to attend, so the ceremony should be spectacular if it lives up to the standard set by the play on the field thus far. The finale will feature performances by various international musicians set to a medley of songs from the official FIFA World Cup 2022 soundtrack.
Nora Fatehi, a Bollywood actress, will join Balqees, Rahma Riad, and Manal on stage during the FIFA World Cup 2022 closing ceremony to add a touch of homegrown flavor for Indian fans. Nora Fatehi performed at a FIFA fan gathering in Doha before the start of the World Cup, during which she proudly hoisted the Indian flag. Al Bidda Park in Doha hosted the FIFA World Cup 2022 Fan Festival.
The live performance will be set to the tournament’s official theme song, “Light the Sky,” sung by the all-female lineup.
From the official World Cup soundtrack, we may expect to hear “(Hayya Hayya) Better Together” by American-Nigerian singer and songwriter Davido and Japanese R&B singer AISHA, as well as “Arhbo” by Puerto Rican singer Ozuna and Congolese-French rapper Gims.
The Puerto Rican musician’s collaboration with the French-Congolese rapper Gims on the single “Arhbo” has been making the rounds since August as part of the official FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 soundtrack. The local slang phrase for “welcome” in Qatar inspired the name of the uplifting collaboration, which “fully portrays the welcoming atmosphere” of the Arabian country that has been hosting the World Cup since November 20.
In opening and closing the World Cup festivities, Davido will make history as the first musician to perform in both roles. Ahead of the 2022 World Cup Draw, he gave a performance.
