Summary
For the first time since 1986, Mexico City will be the site of the opening match of a FIFA men’s World Cup when the 2026 edition kicks off, but it will be even more poignant than the one from 40 years ago. This opener will actually include Mexico's national team, as the one back in 1986 had then-defending champions Italy taking on Bulgaria.
