Soccer’s governing body released the lineup for the closing ceremony, which will take place 90 minutes before Sunday’s final. The show is meant to “celebrate the 48 teams’ unforgettable journey” through 16 host cities across three countries, Fifa said in a statement. IShowSpeed – who has streamed multiple matches – is listed as a performer, while Cruise – who has also been spotted in the stands and performed a stunt at the Paris Olympics’ closing ceremony – is billed as making a “special appearance”. The ceremony will also include performances from Laura Pausini, the Italian singer who helped open the Milan Cortina Olympics in February; Tony winner and Pussycat Dolls member Nicole Scherzinger; and Robbie Williams, the British singer and former Take That member.
