How much does Shakira get for singing in the Copa América final?

The Copa América final between Argentina and Colombia, which will take place this Sunday, July 14, at the Hard Rock Stadium, will be punctuated by a performance by Shakira at halftime in true Super Bowl style. The Barranquilla-born singer, who already has experience lending her voice to high-profile sporting events, will sing Punteríathe official song of the championship, along with some of their biggest hits.

“Shakira is an extraordinary South American star who has captivated the whole world,” “Their songs are sung and danced to in every corner of the world, making their art a global phenomenon that transcends borders and is enjoyed by millions.”

“We are confident that their performance on the Copa América USA 2024️ stage will reinforce the message of healthy passion and unity through sport.”

Shakira’s millions for halftime show

Bringing an artist like Shakira to the final of the Copa América represents a significant financial outlay for the South American Football Confederation, as journalist Juan Etchegoyen revealed on Mitre Live.

“The amount that CONMEBOL will invest in the Copa América final is enormous. Of course we know what football generates and compared to the revenue it is ultimately just small change, but it still amazes me,” he said.

The journalist explained that The Colombian could earn more than two million dollars for a halftime appearance. “The event before the finale lasts about 20 minutes, but Shakira will not perform, but will deliver a slightly longer show during halftime – just like the Super Bowl.”

How long does Shakira’s halftime show at the Copa América last?

Some media outlets have suggested that the half-time break could be extended by five or ten minutes, with the final say on this change resting with the head referee.

“Players are entitled to a half-time break of no more than 15 minutes and a short drink break (maximum one minute) is also permitted after the first half of extra time. Competition rules must clearly state the length of the half-time break and may only be changed with the permission of the referee,” state the IFAB (International Football Association Board) regulations.

In addition, speculated that Karol G could sing the Colombian national anthem and Abel Pintos the Argentinian national anthem before the game starts.
