Klum returns to participate in a World Cup draw after having been part of the 2006 World Cup ceremony in Germany. "It's truly extraordinary to present the final draw again after having done it 20 years ago in my country," she stated.

Ramírez, who has Mexican roots and was born in the United States, highlighted the symbolism of hosting the event in countries with which he has a personal connection. "I grew up playing soccer, and having the chance to present this draw, meet World Cup legends, and talk to them is a dream come true. The fact that the tournament is happening in the United States, where I was born, and in Mexico, where part of my roots are, makes it all the more special," he said.

The show will also feature major musical attractions. Tenor Andrea Bocelli and pop star Robbie Williams will perform alongside singer and performer Nicole Scherzinger. After the group draw, the group Village People will close the celebration with a performance of “Y.M.C.A.,” one of the most well-known classics of pop music.

The names of those responsible for the official draw protocol — those who will conduct the actual group definitions — are yet to be announced by Fifa.
