The draw for the 2026 World Cup turned the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. into the epicenter of world sport and spectacle. FIFA<\/a> presented a ceremony full of international figures that mixed solemnity, nostalgia and festive energy to accompany the most important event prior to the World Cup.<\/p>\n

The day began with the unmistakable voice of Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, who performed “Nessun Dorma” accompanied by a live orchestra. Dressed in an elegant blue corduroy suit, Bocelli gave the event a majestic tone that thrilled the audience from the first chords. His performance was applauded for its interpretative strength and for the emotional charge he brought to the beginning of the gala.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere changed completely after FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s opening message.<\/p>\n

The musical explosion came from Robbie Williams and Nicole Scherzinger, who performed “Desire”, announced as the official anthem of the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n

Images of fans from around the world were projected on the screens, reflecting the cultural diversity that characterizes the World Cup and igniting the mood inside the venue.<\/p>\n

Later, Lauryn Hill took the stage with her band to perform the classic “Doo Wop (That Thing)”.<\/p>\n
