“We are thrilled to have so many stars taking to the pitch, from both the football and entertainment worlds,” Infantino added.
“The closing ceremony will set the tone for a historic FIFA World Cup final, uniting the passion of 48 teams, 16 host cities and millions of fans on one unforgettable stage.”
