MEXICO vs SOUTH AFRICA

LIVE AT 21H

The opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup brings a nice sense of history: co-host Mexico face South Africa exactly 16 years after their memorable 1–1 draw in the 2010 World Cup opener. Playing in front of a passionate home crowd in Mexico City, Mexico enter as favorites, but South Africa’s disciplined style could make this a tighter contest than many expect.
