Beyonce & Jay-Z Set To Perform At The 2010 World Cup!

Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z will perform for the world at the 2010 World Cup, held in South Africa. The couple were asked to perform for the soccer event by the Federation Internationale De Football Association (FIFA). They will perform for a kick-off concert. Others to join in the celebration of the World Cup are the Black Eyed Peas and other popular African groups.

They’re trying to get fans and broadcasters excited by these performers. Proceeds from the concert will be donated to the official campaign of the 2010 World Cup, called 20 Centres for 2010. It will go towards education, health care services and soccer training to less privileged communities.

The 2010 World Cup will be held at Orlando Stadium in Soweto, Africa on June 10, 2010. Sounds like it’s going to be lots of fun!
