January 2nd – International singing superstar, Robbie Williams has been named as a ‘Music Ambassador’ for FIFA and will perform a song for this year’s FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.
Williams, 50, has a deep affinity for football and proudly claims to be a lifelong Port Vale fan. The Valiants currently play in England’s League 2 and named Williams as club president last year. He once spent £800,000 on an indoor football pitch for his Los Angeles mansion, so he could play with his friends and out of the prying eyes of the paparazzi.
At Tiffany & Co.’s iconic Fifth Avenue flagship store in New York City, Williams delivered a headline performance as the FIFA Club World Cup Trophy Tour got underway. The former singer dazzled 200+ special guests, including FIFA President Gianni Infantino, with a selection of one of his biggest hits.
“Over 140 days in 29 cities across 20 countries, it will be an epic journey for the trophy and a tournament that is breaking new ground and redefining global club football – and we sent it off in style,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. .
“The FIFA Club World Cup Trophy Tour will give players, coaches and fans around the world the opportunity to see the most coveted prize in global club football live, take their passion to the world and unite them in their excitement and dreams of becoming the first winners of the new FIFA Club World Cup. “
It’s not Robbie’s first dance with FIFA, having performed at the opening ceremony of the 2018 men’s World Cup in Russia, where he caused a minor international incident after sticking his middle finger directly into the camera during the broadcast, which forced US broadcaster Fox to apologize.
