Robbie Williams, Tom Cruise and Jennifer Hudson among stars at World C

Robbie Williams, Tom Cruise and Jennifer Hudson are among the stars reported to be taking part in the World Cup closing ceremony, according to BBC Sports.

The event is expected to feature a wide-ranging celebrity line-up, with the half-time segment set to continue with performances by Madonna, Justin Bieber, Shakira and BTS, the report said. The names attached to the ceremony point to a high-profile entertainment showcase designed to accompany one of sport’s biggest stages.

Details in the monitored public feed are limited, but the appearance of several global music and film figures suggests organisers are aiming for a major spectacle around the final moments of the tournament. Robbie Williams, known for his long career as a pop performer, and Jennifer Hudson, an Oscar-winning singer and actor, are among the artists identified in the coverage. Tom Cruise’s inclusion indicates the show may also draw on major Hollywood star power.

The BBC Sports report did not provide further information on performance order, production details or whether the stars will appear together or separately. It also did not specify how the closing ceremony will be structured beyond the celebrity names and the planned half-time performances.

Big sporting finals often use their closing ceremonies to reach audiences far beyond the match itself, blending music, entertainment and global celebrity to create a broadcast event with broad appeal. In this case, the feed suggests a particularly large-scale entertainment programme, with multiple internationally recognised acts featured across the ceremony and halftime.
