Karol G is set to sing Colombia’s national anthem at the 2024 Copa América final tonight (Sunday, June 14), and Abel Pintos will sing for Argentina. Their performances will be ahead of Shakira‘s anticipated halftime show at the Argentina-Colombia match in Miami, Florida.
Though Karol G’s appearance was apparently meant to be a surprise, the Colombian star confirmed the news herself in a quick chat with Noticias RCN on Sunday afternoon at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, where she was seated next to Feid.
A few hours before the event’s start time, videos of Karol rehearsing at the stadium on Sunday had begin to circulate across social media — so the cat was out of the bag.
Shakira’s halftime show will mark her first time performing at the oldest national soccer tournament. She’s expected to appear just after the first half of the game.
The 2024 Copa América final is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT.
In the United States, Copa América 2024 will broadcast in Spanish on Univision, TUND, and UniMás, and the match will be available on FuboTV, DirecTV Stream and TUND’s streaming platforms. Plus, the halftime show will be shown on FOX, Fubo Sports, Fox Sports App, FOXsports.com, TyC Sports Internacional, and FOX Sports 1. Find out more details about how to watch here.
