FIFA has announced that, for the first time, the final at the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19 will include a Super Bowl-style concert.<\/p>\n

The governing body said the show would support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which is raising $100 million to help children access education and soccer.<\/p>\n

FIFA president Gianni Infantino said it would bring together \u201cmusic and football on the biggest stage in sport for a very special cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery child should have the opportunity to dream, and together we can help make that possible,\u201d he posted on Instagram.<\/p>\n

The show will be curated by Coldplay\u2019s Chris Martin. <\/p>\n
