BTS could make it to FIFA’s most important event.
The 2022 World Cup will be held in Qatar next November and BTS could be one of the guests to perform, in addition to debuting a new song as part of their campaign.
This would be the first time that BTS will be in a major sporting event, as they have only participated in diplomatic events. However, the band has managed to fill entire stadiums, so they have already faced such a massive audience.
Currently, they are part of Hyundai’s “Goal of the century” World Cup campaign, for which they are brand ambassadors. This could be their ticket to the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
