Justin Bieber is taking his talents to the biggest stage in soccer.

Chris Martin of Coldplay will curate the 11-minute halftime show, which supports the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. The organization is raising $100 million to give children better access to education and soccer.

“The FIFA World Cup brings the world together in a way nothing else can,” Bieber said in a statement. “I’m grateful to be part of this Halftime Show, and even more grateful knowing it’s already helping expand access to education for children around the world.”

The performance will take place at MetLife Stadium, where two nations will square off on the pitch for the World Cup trophy. There are currently eight remaining teams in the tournament, Argentina, France, England, Spain, Morocco, Belgium, Norway and Switzerland.

The quarterfinals begin Thursday with France versus Morocco opening the highly-anticipated round.
