GIANNI INFANTINO was forced to intervene during the World Cup draw – after fears that host Kevin Hart was about to give away secret details about the final’s half-time show.
England and Scotland are among the sides to have qualified for the tournament who are learning their group rivals in 2026.
Hart is presenting the draw alongside supermodel Heidi Klum at the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC.
And Fifa president Infantino jumped in when he was concerned that the comedian and actor was going to give away top-secret plans about the World Cup Final’s half-time show.
Hart said: “I’ve been looking into some summer plans, thanks to a little tip that I got from Gianni himself.
“I can tell you that, for the first time ever, the World Cup Final half-time show will be box office. Do you hear me?”

Infantino could be seen giving the thumbs up towards the camera when co-host Klum responded: “Look at you with your connections, Kevin. Tell us more.”
He added: “Well, I can’t do that. I can’t tell you any more because that would be against the agreement that I agreed to.”
Infantino then intervened, warning: “Be careful!”
Hart insisted: “I’m not going to say too much. I won’t let the cat out of the bag.

“But what I can tell you is that it will showcase Fifa’s amazing partnership with global citizens to billions around the planet.
“I can give you at least that much. That’s a nugget right there.”
England booked their place in the World Cup after winning each of their qualification matches under head coach Thomas Tuchel.
Scotland booked their place in the tournament after a last-gasp win against Denmark last month.
Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland could still be involved in the World Cup – but they are having to go through the play-offs.
