The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off Thursday, June 11, with a manageable two-match opening day — both Group A fixtures on Matchday 1. The headline act needs no embellishment: co-hosts Mexico open against South Africa at Estadio Azteca, the storied Mexico City ground hosting its third men’s World Cup. With no points on the board yet, it’s all about tone-setting.
The nightcap sends South Korea against Czechia in Guadalajara. With Mexico the group favourite, these two likely battle for the other qualifying spot — a result here carries outsized weight.
