FIFA introduces new pre-match rites for World Cup 2026

FIFA announced the adoption of new ceremonies before the start of the World Cup matches, which include lining up all players, including substitutes, around the center circle before the national anthems, raising giant flags of the teams, and the players entering through a special tunnel. These changes aim to enhance the celebratory atmosphere and improve the visual spectacle of the matches, which will be held between June 11 and July 19 in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with 48 teams participating. Mexico will kick off the tournament with a match against South Africa.
