Kenya OS and Alejandro Speitzer coincide at the 2026 World Cup stadium

Maná in the World Cup: a historic show at halftime

The 2026 World Cup not only marks a milestone due to the performance of the Mexican National Team, but also because music has taken a central role for the first time. Beyond the chants of the fans and the songs that play before the matches, FIFA decided that the most special matches would have their own show.

Tonight it will be Maná’s turn. The Guadalajara group will appear during the break of Mexico vs England, a duel for a place in the quarterfinals.

What time will Maná play at the CDMX Stadium?

The match starts at 6:00 p.m. The band’s appearance would occur around 6:45 p.m., depending on the time added to the first half.

Just a few weeks ago, Maná was one of the groups chosen to inaugurate the 2026 World Cup. This will be its second collaboration with FIFA in the tournament.

Friendship and cheers from the recording set

Belinda and Danna met this Sunday, hours before the match between Mexico and England for the round of 16. The reason: a professional commitment to record a video clip. But before going in front of the cameras, they took a moment to send their support to the Tricolor.

The date occurred after Belinda was captured at the Mexico City Stadium during the match against Ecuador, on June 30. On that occasion, accompanied by her parents, she announced that she would not be able to attend the next game due to a date with Danna.

“What if?”

Both artists shared a video on social networks where they appear ready to record. Danna asks: “We are ready, what if we are?” Belinda responds with confidence: “Yes, today we won.” Then, as a duet, they affirm: “Today we win Mexico!” The singer of “Luz sin Gravity” ends with “Winning as always, long live Mexico!”

The video has circulated widely among fans, who celebrate the support of two popular Mexican entertainment figures. The phrase “what if?” —which Belinda initially confused with “yes”— has gone viral as a symbol of optimism for the party.

The match between Mexico and England takes place tonight. The singers are not the only public figures who have shown their support; but his message, recorded from the set of a video clip, managed to connect with thousands of followers who expect a favorable result.

Fher Olvera, vocalist of Maná, prepares for the halftime show of the Mexico vs England match. During rehearsals, the Jalisco native wore two t-shirts: one with the phrase “What if?” —a nod to Mexican hope in the 2026 World Cup— and another with the faces of the Gallagher brothers, leaders of Oasis.

The gesture is not accidental. Days before, Liam Gallagher – a Manchester City fan – had predicted an English rout: “Mexico is going to lose 5 to 0.” Fher responded with a video on social networks:

“Let’s see… don’t stain, get your bearings, wow. 5-0? Calm down. See you there on Sunday, let’s see how it goes.”

The message accumulated more than 791 thousand reactions and unleashed a wave of comments. Liam, known for his controversial nature, tried to calm things down:

“Every time I’ve been to Mexico everyone has been lovely. I don’t understand this negative attitude. Everything is going to be fine.”

With the Oasis shirt on, Olvera built a bridge between rivalries. The Mexican band had already participated in the opening of the 2026 World Cup on June 11, performing “Oye, mi amor.” Now, the halftime show promises to be another chapter in this rock and sports story.
