With the 2024 Copa América taking place in the United States, it’s only fitting that the final will include a halftime show.
For the first time ever, the Copa América final will feature a performance at halftime, with pop superstar Shakira set to take the stage at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
It is only fitting that Shakira will be the halftime entertainment, as the Colombian singer’s national side will feature in the final against Argentina.
The match is set for at 8 p.m. ET kickoff on Sunday night, meaning Shakira will take the stage sometime around 8:50 p.m.
Shakira recently released her 12th studio album, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” and is set to perform songs from that album as well as some of her greatest hits.
Typically, halftime breaks last 15 minutes, but Shakira’s performance will extend the mid-game break to around 25 minutes in much the same fashion as a Super Bowl halftime show.
In his pre-match press conference, Colombia head coach Néstor Lorenzo criticized the extended halftime break for the final.
“I think the halftime for the final should be 15 minutes because those are the rules,” Lorenzo said. “And because we’ve been fined when we’ve walked back onto the pitch 16 minutes later. But now apparently, because there’s going to be a concert, we’ll be walking back out 20 to 25 minutes later.
“This could affect the players fitness. They could cool down too much. Those minutes of recovery in the dressing room… people don’t understand what it takes to reach those levels.”
