If materialized, the Colombian would be in her fourth World Cup. J Balvin would also perform at the opening event of the orbital contest.
Colombia News.
“World without Shakira, it is not World Cup”, in this Colombians agree after the assumption that the artist will do her show at the opening ceremony of the orbital contest scheduled for next November 20.
FIFA would have announced the news of the participation of the Colombian artist in the ceremony that will open the show in Qatar with the match between Ecuador and the host country, a match to be played at the Al-Bayt Stadium, in the city of Al Khor, with capacity for 60 thousand spectators.

In addition to Shakira, the Black Eyed Peas and the Korean K-Pop group BTS would be at the opening of the Qatar World Cup.
If this rumor materializes, it would be the fourth World Cup where Shakira is part of the opening or closing show.
It should be remembered that in 2006, Shakira was at the closing ceremony in the city of Berlin, interpreting the theme ‘My Hips Don’t Lie’.
He then repeated four years later at the South Africa 2010 opening ceremony with the theme ‘Waka Waka’, recordings in which her love affair with Gerard Pique was born, which today, 12 years later, has come to an end.
Another four years passed and Shakira reappeared on the scene at the opening show of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, interpreting the theme ‘The, The, The’.
It seems that Shakira will not be the only Colombian quota in the world since J Balvin would also be on stage with his greatest hits.
Although it is not certain if the paisa will open the World Cup with Shakira, the media Infobae has reported that it is confirmed that the “Niño de Medellín” will be part of the “six nights of musical shows” in Qatar with a presentation on the stage located at the Doha Golf Club on November 24.
