FIFA confirms Justin Bieber halftime show for World Cup final
Summary

Justin Bieber is set to perform during the halftime show of the World Cup final on July 19 in the United States. FIFA plans for the show to last up to 20 minutes, contrary to the typical 15-minute halftime rule established by the International Football Association Board (IFAB). Reports suggest the performance might extend up to 30 minutes, which would break the longstanding regulations. This event follows similar halftime shows at other international competitions. Spain has reached the final by defeating France 2-0. The other final spot will be determined between England and Argentina in Atlanta on July 15.
