Argentina will conclude its USA Tour with a showdown before the October international break Puerto Rico Tuesday night in Miami – the first-ever meeting between the two national teams. One of the main attractions of the event will be a special halftime show at Chase Stadium, headlined by one of Latin America’s most iconic music stars.
For the halftime show, Puerto Rican legend Ivy Queen will take center stage. The singer, songwriter, rapper and actress commonly known as The Queen of Reggaeton (The Queen of Reggaeton), returns to live performance, this time on a football stage.
No stranger to major sporting events, Ivy Queen previously performed at the Pepsi Smash Super Bowl concert in 2007. For this occasion, the halftime between Argentina and Puerto Rico will be extended from the usual 15 minutes to approximately 20 minutesgiving the Puerto Rican star more time to perform her set.
Halftime shows are becoming a growing trend in football
With events like the FIFA Club World Cup leading the way, halftime shows are slowly becoming part of the entertainment culture of football, a sport traditionally resistant to in-match spectacle. With the 2026 World Cup final expected to feature major entertainment elements, promoters and organizers are increasingly merging music and sport.

We are creating a partnership with AFA to bring the musical element to AFA (Argentina FA) events toosomething that is still developing and will grow over time in our relationship.
