    On Friday, Sept. 6, the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers will play the first ever NFL game in South America when the two teams collide in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

    As a part of bringing American football to South America, the NFL and Brazilian pop star Anitta have worked together to build a halftime show that may rival some Super Bowls.

    “Growing up in Brazil has completely shaped my journey as an artist and of course, as a person,” said Anitta. “It means everything to be able to perform in São Paulo at the NFL’s first game in Brazil, where I can bring fans around the world the excitement and joy of our amazing culture. It’s really a dream come true to be a part of this moment.”

    Anitta will be playing some of her biggest hits and bringing a touch of Brazil’s culture into homes across the world. While fans in the US won’t be able to view the entire halftime show, it will be available on YouTube immediately following the performance.

    “With the excitement of the NFL’s inaugural game in Brazil, we felt it was essential to tap into the rhythm of São Paulo’s dynamic music scene,” said NFL rep Tim Tubito.
