Johannesburg – World Cup organisers have promised a high-tech closing ceremony featuring pop star Shakira, compared to the more traditionally African ceremony which opened the tournament.
Organising committee spokesperson Jermaine Craig said Sunday's show at Soccer City will be "more youthful and a bit more technologically advanced" than the June 11 opening ceremony.
He said the night-time event has "nice lighting effects and special effects planned".
The closing ceremony is scheduled to start at 18:30, two hours before the final match kicks off.
Colombian star Shakira will perform the official tournament anthem Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).
She also performed the song at the FIFA World Cup Kickoff Celebration Concert on June 10 in Soweto.
