World Cup 2018 Closing Ceremony Performers, Lineup, Live Stream, TV Schedule by Nobody: 2:12pm On Jul 15, 2018 |
The 2018 FIFA World Cup comes to an
end on Sunday, with Moscow's Luzhniki
Stadium playing host to the closing
ceremony ahead of the final between
France and Croatia.
The tournament has been a big success
and provided plenty of entertainment,
thrilling matches and upsets.
Defending champions Germany went out
in the group phase, while hosts Russia
surpassed expectations and knocked out
Spain on penalties in the last 16.
There was also disappointment for
favourites Brazil, who went out in the
quarter-finals. All that means it is France
and Croatia who are the two teams left
standing.
Date: Sunday, 14 July
TV: BBC One, ITV 1 (UK), Fox (U.S.)
Stream: BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub (UK), Fox
Soccer Match Pass (U.S.)
There have been few details released
about the closing ceremony. However,
American megastar Will Smith will be
performing the official World Cup Song
"Live It Up" along with Nicky Jam and
singer Era Istrefi.
Jam said there could be something
unexpected involved in their
performance, per FIFA.com: "Doing a
World Cup song is a dream come true.
I'm really really happy to be here, but I'm
super nervous. It's so massive. There
may be a surprise in the show: a
colleague and a friend may join us, so
watch the show!"
The hosts will be hoping for a less
controversial performance than there
was during the opening ceremony,
when singer Robbie Williams offered a
middle finger to television cameras.
Russia President Vladimir Putin will be in
attendance. He will also take part in a
ceremony to hand the World Cup over to
2022 hosts Qatar on Sunday, per RT.
The World Cup's opening ceremony was
a short and snappy, and it's likely
Sunday's event will continue in the same
vein.
Once the ceremony is over, the action
will switch quickly back to the football.
France will be the favourites for victory
after seeing off Argentina, Uruguay and
Belgium in the knockout stages.
However, Croatia can not be easily
discounted. Zlatko Dalic's side have
shown team spirit and determination in
their victories over Denmark, Russia and
England. They will not lack for
motivation, either, as they seek to lift the
World Cup for the first time.
