The 2026 World Cup officially commenced yesterday at the iconic Azteca stadium in Mexico. The tournament opened with a spectacular ceremony in Mexico City before the host nation faced off against South Africa. The match was characterized by high intensity and "fireworks" on the pitch, resulting in a victory for Mexico. In another fixture, South Africa encountered the Czech Republic. While the first half of that match remained largely uneventful, the momentum shifted in the latter stages. Ultimately, South Korea secured a comeback victory to earn their first three points of the competition.
