At the first-ever FIFA Club World Cup Halftime Show, Nigerian superstar, Tems took centre stage and delivered a stunning live performance of her Grammy-winning hit, “Love Me Jeje.”

The match between Chelsea and PSG might have drawn millions of eyes, but it was Tems who gave the night its heart.

Not Just a Show, A Statement

The show, produced by Global Citizen, marked the first time FIFA introduced a Super Bowl-style halftime performance to the Club World Cup and the lineup was stacked.

🌟 Tems
🌟 J Balvin
🌟 Doja Cat
🌟 Emmanuel Kelly
🌟 And a surprise appearance by Coldplay

Yet, amid the flash and fame, it was Tems’ soulful delivery and Nigerian roots that stood out.

Her performance of “Love Me Jeje” wasn’t just nostalgic—it was symbolic.
It bridged cultures, celebrated African excellence, and echoed far beyond the stadium.

Naija to the World

For Nigeria, this moment was bigger than music. It was a global reminder of the country’s growing influence in culture, sport, and humanitarian advocacy.

Because beyond the beats, the night carried a cause which was support for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, aimed at expanding access to quality education for children worldwide.

That’s soft power in action. A Nigerian woman commanding a global stage during a world-class football final, while helping fund education for the next generation.

Why It Matters

Tems didn’t just perform. She represented art, culture, heritage, purpose.

She showed the world that African music isn’t coming, it’s already here.
Loud, proud, and headline-worthy.

And as FIFA blends culture into sport, don’t be surprised if more Nigerian stars continue to own global stages.
