In the opening match of the 2026 World Cup, co-hosts Mexico will face South Africa. The first game in Group A will take place on June 11 in Mexico City. South Korea is also in Group A alongside these teams.
In the inaugural match of the first World Cup in Africa in 2010, these two teams also met. The memories of that match, including South Africa’s victory and the celebrations, still linger in the minds of many. It will be interesting to see if a similar exciting match occurs this time.
