Argentina and Puerto Rico will meet in a friendly international match to wrap up October’s FIFA window. The ‘Albiceleste’ and the ‘Huracan Azul’ will face off at Chase Stadium, with emotions likely running high both during the game and at halftime.
Lionel Messi is the key player to watch as Argentina takes on Puerto Rico at Inter Miami’s venue in Fort Lauderdale. Messi returns to the national team after missing the friendly against Venezuela at Hard Rock Stadium.
Argentina will showcase plenty of talent on the field. Fans at Chase Stadium can expect an exciting experience, particularly during halftime, which will feature an extended break of 20 minutes instead of the usual 15.
Ivy Queen to Perform at Halftime
Ivy Queen, a prominent Puerto Rican rapper and singer, will perform during halftime. This was confirmed by VMG Sports CEO Javier Fernandez in an interview with Diario Ole. The halftime show aims to combine sports with the music industry.
Ivy Queen is known for her reggaeton style that incorporates elements of bachata, salsa, and dancehall, delivering powerful messages on themes like female empowerment and self-worth.
By performing at halftime, Ivy Queen is not only showcasing her talents but also reaffirming her legacy as a significant voice in Latin urban music.
Halftime Encouragement
With attention on Messi, Ivy Queen aims to make a strong impact with her performance, potentially serving as inspiration for Puerto Rico as they face the reigning FIFA World Cup champions.
Lionel Messi of Argentina during a game
Argentina is currently on a strong run, holding a 17-game unbeaten streak in the United States. They have not lost on American soil since the 2016 Copa America Centenario, where they were defeated by Chile in a penalty shootout.
Perhaps Ivy Queen’s halftime performance could provide the spark that the ‘Huracan Azul’ needs to challenge Argentina’s impressive form.
