World football’s governing body said Williams will entertain the crowd at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow before the opening match of the tournament.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m so happy and excited to be going back to Russia for such a unique performance. I\u2019ve done a lot in my career, and opening the FIFA World Cup to 80,000 football fans in the stadium and many millions all over the world is a boyhood dream”, Williams said.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019d like to invite football and music fans to party with us in Russia, in the stadium, or to tune in their TVs a little earlier for an unforgettable show”, he said.<\/p>\n
Williams will be joined by Brazil’s two-time World Cup winner Ronaldo and Russian operatic soprano Aida Garifullina.<\/p>\n
The world’s top-tier football contest will kick off on June 14, Thursday, with hosts Russia taking on Saudi Arabia in Group A match and 32 teams in eight groups will fight for claiming the World Cup.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
