The disco legends behind US President Donald Trump’s favorite marketing campaign anthem will take centre stage at Friday’s (Dec 5) World Cup draw, FIFA has introduced, in what guarantees to be a star-studded affair with distinctly Trumpian overtones.
The Village Folks will ship a rendition of YMCA on the Kennedy Heart in Washington to cap off the draw for the 2026 match co-hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico.
The music grew to become a staple at Trump’s marketing campaign rallies and Mar-a-Lago fundraisers, the place the president has been seen dancing alongside.
FIFA described Friday’s present as a “world-class leisure line-up” that includes supermodel and tv character Heidi Klum, comic Kevin Hart and actor Danny Ramirez as co-hosts.
Performances will embrace classical singer Andrea Bocelli and a duet by British pop star Robbie Williams, FIFA’s music ambassador, and American singer Nicole Scherzinger.
Trump overhauled the John F Kennedy Heart for the Performing Arts in February, changing into chairman of the organisation, changing billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein, and firing its president, Deborah Rutter.
