Actor Tom Cruise and internet streamer IShowSpeed are also slated to appear, adding to the eclectic mix of entertainment.


While many fans are excited about the celebrity lineup, others have questioned the inclusion of non‑musical stars like Cruise. Social media users joked about what role he might play, with some speculating he could parachute into the stadium. 


Despite the online chatter, Cruise has embraced the World Cup festivities, attending events alongside his close friend David Beckham. 


He praised Beckham’s influence on American soccer, crediting him with helping transform Major League Soccer and paving the way for Lionel Messi’s arrival in the league.


Cruise and Beckham were spotted at the opening ceremony in California, enjoying the performances with Victoria Beckham before the U.S. team faced Paraguay. 


Their presence highlighted the blend of Hollywood and sports that has characterized this World Cup, with the closing ceremony promising to deliver a similarly high‑profile spectacle. 


The mix of music, celebrity appearances, and tributes to soccer’s global impact is expected to make the finale one of the most memorable in tournament history.
