Camila Cabello on the passion for football, the excitement of performing in the opening ceremony presented by Pepsi® and the prediction of the 2022 UEFA Champions League final – the interview
Camila Cabello entered the world of football through the front door: the singer, nominated for the GRAMMY® Award and several times platinum, was chosen to perform at the Stade de France in the opening ceremony of the UEFA Champions League final , presented by Pepsi®.
Known around the world for blockbuster hits like Bam Bam, Señorita and Havana, the Cuban-American singer-songwriter told UEFA.com about her Latin origins and passion for football.
On the performance in the opening ceremony, presented by Pepsi®
I am enthusiastic! A few hours ago I was a little nervous, but now I can’t wait. My father is Mexican, I have Latino blood, so football is an important part of our culture and I cheer for Mexico every time he plays.
The stage was set up with sound devices to involve people as much as possible. I think ‘Don’t Go Yet’ – the version we prepared for the ceremony – will thrill the audience, as well as ‘Bam Bam’. The whole work was built for contexts like this. I’m sure it will energize the whole audience. “
About his passion for football
Football is by far my favorite sport and I have always wanted to go to a live match. It’s the only sport I can watch, fully understanding what’s going on.
I have never been able to see a game live in the past due to my busy work schedule, so this will be my first time. I am also excited for this.
Who will cheer on in the final
Cheering for both of us. If I’m nervous, I can only imagine how the players are feeling right now.
A prediction? I hope it’s a hard-fought and fun game because I don’t like boring or obvious games. I am sure that it will be very close and that it will only be decided at the end, perhaps on penalties.
