IShowSpeed Makes History at World Cup Final Closing Ceremony
IShowSpeed, the 21-year-old YouTube streamer, took to the pitch at the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final closing ceremony in MetLife Stadium, New Jersey. He became the first streamer ever to perform at a World Cup ceremony before a crowd of over 82,000. Dressed in an all-white suit, he opened with a troupe of drummers and dancers in brightly coloured tracksuits. The three-minute performance featured his song “World Cup (Champions)” from the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album, a track FIFA invited him to record. His livestream of the final alone drew nearly 60 million views. This historic opening act kicked off a star-studded pre-match show that included Post Malone, Robbie Williams and Jennifer Hudson.
