Rabat — FIFA is gearing up for a grand opening ceremony for the FIFA Club World Cup, which is coming next Saturday.
The opening ceremony will take place at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium at 7:15 p.m. local time, which is after midnight in Morocco.
The lineup for the grand opening ceremony will see superstars like Morocco’s French Montana, as well as Swae Lee.
“Adding some global firepower to the line-up, hitmakers French Montana and Swae Lee will keep raising the energy levels just before the ball starts rolling with a genre-blending, high-octane performance – bringing a rap style that moves seamlessly between melody and momentum,” FIFA said on its website.
Proud of his Moroccan roots, French Montana has many famous hits, including “Unforgettable“, “Welcome to the Party”, “Famous”, and “All the Way Up”.
Several rising stars will also be featured, including Vikina and Richaelio, with FIFA certain that they will bring “rhythm, movement, and unmistakable Latin flair to a powerful performance.”
The performance is produced by Emilio Esteefan Jr.
“We’re welcoming the world to Miami with music, joy, and unity,” Estegan said, noting that the show will celebrate a multicultural sound from across the world.
Morocco’s Wydad Casablanca is among the clubs participating in the giant competition.
The Moroccan club is among the challenging Group G, which includes champions like Manchester City, Juventus, as well as the UAE’s Al Ain.
Wydad will play against Manchester City at 5 p.m. Moroccan time, allowing fans to cheer on the Moroccan players racing for the FIFA Club World Cup trophy.
The opening game will take place between Bayern Munich and Auckland City at 5 p.m. Moroccan time, followed by several other games, including Al Ahly vs Inter Miami at 1 a.m. Moroccan time.
PSG versus Atlético Madrid will also be on Sunday at 8 p.m., as well as Palmeiras versus Porto at 11 p.m.
