The 2026 World Cup kicked off this evening across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, featuring 48 teams instead of 32. This expansion comes amid security concerns caused by international tensions and internal crises, particularly in Mexico and the United States. The tournament begins with a match between Mexico and South Africa at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, with expectations that the event will generate record revenues of up to $11 billion. Preparations faced challenges due to security issues and visa problems, including the banning of Somali referee Omar Araten from entering the United States, which added a layer of tension to the event's organization. The World Cup will last six weeks, showcasing new national teams and performances that highlight the diversity and expansion of the tournament, all while contending with security and political challenges affecting the hosting conditions.
