This Sunday, February 11, Super Bowl LVIII will be played between the San Francisco 49ers, who will be seeking their sixth trophy, and the Kansas City Chiefs, who will be seeking their third, at Allegiant Stadium. This venue, where the Las Vegas Raiders usually host, can accommodate 65,000 people and is a multi-sports venue in the heart of the city located in the center of the desert in the state of Nevada. The duel will begin at 8:30 p.m. (Argentina time) and will be televised by both ESPN and the Star+ platform for all of Latin America.
As always, one of the details that tends to be one of the most important and is unrelated to the process of the match, is the famous Halftime Show, a show that will have as its main star the singer Usher, one of the most relevant male representatives of R&B. , Dance and Pop. In addition, before the legendary draw and kickoff take place, Reba McEntire will be in charge of singing the American national anthem.
In relation to the musical show, in the run-up to the kickoff, Post Malone will perform America the Beautiful, while contemporary R&B singer Andra Day will sing Lift Every Voice and Sing.
“It will be an event of this magnitude combined with the energy of Las Vegas, it will be incomparable. Our entire city is committed to making Super Bowl LVIII the most electrifying sporting spectacle in history,” Steve Hill, general director of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Bureau, said in a statement.
It is worth remembering that the match lasts 60 minutes of effective play, divided into four quarters of 15 minutes each. Halftime is extended to 30 minutes for the development of the musical show. A football game can extend to three hours or more because the clock stops for various situations such as penalties, review of plays to correct decisions, incomplete passes, if a player carrying the ball leaves the field and due to the pause of the 2 minutes.
The Kansas City Chiefs will go to their third Super Bowl in history. They have one of the best offenses in the entire NFL with their star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his partner in attack as well as Taylor Swift’s partner, Travis Kelce. On the other hand, the San Francisco 49ers will also bet their hopes on their quarterback, Brock Purdy. Each team has a squad of 53 players who are divided according to their functions between offense, defense and special teams.
It will be the second confrontation between the franchises in the title game since in the LIV edition that was played in 2020, it was the Chiefs who won the Vince Lombardi trophy by winning 31-20 at Hard Rock Stadium.
Another of the most iconic and anticipated components of the Super Bowl, apart from the sporting climax it represents, are the commercials that appear during television breaks. Since Lionel Messi’s arrival in the United States, the Argentine star has stepped foot in the advertising world and will be present at the country’s biggest event as the protagonist and face of a beer brand. David Beckham and the legendary Tom Brady will also appear alongside him.
