'Global superstar' Tom Cruise (64, USA) will make a special appearance at the 2026 FIFA North America World Cup closing ceremony performance. Attention is focused on whether he will perform a mid-air parachute show like a scene from the Mission: Impossible film series.
FIFA announced on the 15th that it will mark the grand finale of this historic tournament through a closing ceremony held ahead of the World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, USA, at 4 a.m. (Korean time) on the 20th.
FIFA has previewed performances by singers Laura Pausini, Nicole Scherzinger, Robbie Williams, and influencer IShowSpeed at the closing ceremony, and added that Tom Cruise will also make a special appearance.
FIFA stated, "World-class music and entertainment stars will gather to deliver an unforgettable celebration stage ahead of the kickoff," but some are expressing expectations for Tom Cruise's mid-air parachute show.
Additionally, world-famous singer Jennifer Hudson will sing the U.S. national anthem ahead of the final. BTS is scheduled to perform a spectacular show during halftime alongside Justin Bieber, Madonna, and Shakira.
The tournament closing ceremony is set to begin 90 minutes before the final kickoff, with the halftime show expected to run for about 30 minutes including preparation time. The final will be contested between Spain and the winner of the Argentina-England semi-final match.
