Robbie Williams to Perform at the World Cup Draw
Robbie Williams, the beloved English pop star and die-hard Port Vale fan, is set to shine on a global stage as he performs at the World Cup draw in the United States on Friday. The event, taking place at the prestigious Kennedy Center, will see Williams sharing the stage with American singer Nicole Scherzinger. The draw, which will determine the fate of the Three Lions for the upcoming World Cup, is expected to be a spectacular affair, attracting millions of football fans around the world.
Trump’s Attendance and the FIFA Peace Award
Adding to the star-studded lineup is none other than United States President Donald J. Trump, who has confirmed his attendance. Trump, known for his high-profile appearances and controversial remarks, will be the first recipient of a newly created FIFA peace award. The Village People, a pop icon from the disco era, will also make an appearance, performing Trump’s unofficial anthem, “YMCA,” to cap off the event. The draw, scheduled to start at 5 pm, is poised to be a significant highlight in the lead-up to the World Cup.
Hosting the Event: A Star-Studded Lineup
The event will be hosted by a trio of talented and well-known personalities. Former German model Heidi Klum, comedian and actor Kevin Hart, and actor and producer Danny Ramirez will take on the roles of presenters. Klum, who previously hosted the World Cup draw in 2006 in her home country, expressed her excitement about the event. “To be hosting the final draw again, after having been involved in this show 20 years ago in my home country, is truly extraordinary,” she said. Klum’s involvement underscores the global appeal and significance of the World Cup.
Ramirez: A Special Connection
Danny Ramirez, another co-host, shared his enthusiasm for the event. “As someone who grew up playing football, getting to co-host the draw and meet and speak with World Cup legends at such a high-profile event is a dream,” he said. Ramirez’s roots in both the United States and Mexico add a unique layer to his participation, making the event even more special for him. “With this tournament coming to the United States, where I was born, and Mexico, where some of my roots lie, it is even more special – and I couldn’t be more excited to be part of this show,” he added.
Additional Performers and Venues
Italian classical singer Andrea Bocelli will also grace the stage, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the proceedings. While FIFA has yet to reveal the names of the former players who will be involved in the draw, a special video presentation will take place at 5 pm on Saturday.
