Global icons to headline Super Bowl style World Cup final show
Moderated by Tomas Kauer 
The World Cup final will feature a star-studded half time show headlined by Madonna, Shakira and boy-band BTS.
FIFA has announced that, for the first time, the final at the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey on July 20 will include a Super Bowl-style concert.
Football's governing body said the show would support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which is raising USD$100 million ($138.5m AUD) to help children access education and football.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino said it would bring together “music and football on the biggest stage in sport for a very special cause".
“Every child should have the opportunity to dream, and together we can help make that possible,” he posted on Instagram.
The show will be curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin.
The Super Bowl is famed for its half time show, attracting the world's biggest stars for spectacular performances. This year featured Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny.
Previous headliners included Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Prince, Bruce Springsteen and Rhianna.
But half time shows are not commonplace in football, with events such as the Champions League final featuring a pre-match concert. On May 30, the Killers will headline European club football's biggest game between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal in Budapest.
It is not known how long the World Cup half time show will last, but the interval in football is not supposed to go beyond 15 minutes.
FIFA describes it as “a singular moment at the intersection of sport, culture and purpose, broadcast live around the world".
The World Cup is co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico and runs through June and July.
