FIFA Goes Broke: From Trump to Music at the World Cup
Automatic translation. Read the Russian original
The International Football Federation (FIFA), known for its ambiguous reputation, has recently come under fire and ridicule. Particularly scandalous was the presentation of Donald Trump “world awards” and controversial ticket prices for the upcoming World Cup in 2026, which proved less popular than expected. Despite this, FIFA is trying to compensate for the situation with high-profile projects. For the first time in the history of world football, a Super Bowl-like music show is planned, featuring Madonna, Shakira and BTS. The official anthem of the championship will also be presented - the song "Dai Dai" (Shakira feat.) Burna Boy. Finally, FIFA will release the “Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album” soundtrack featuring 18 tracks featuring stars such as The Rolling Stones, Nelly Furtado, Stormzy and Anitta. The release date is not yet known, but the championship will be held in Mexico, Canada and the United States from June 11 to July 19. The tracklist includes popular songs "Goals", "Game Time" and others, representing a wide range of musical genres.
