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.
