Mexico and South Africa mark historic World Cup milestones
The Mexican national team is preparing to face South Africa in the opening match of the 2026 World Cup at Estadio Azteca, marking a rematch between the two teams that dates back to 2010, a game that ended in a 1-1 draw. The stadium will host the 20th match in World Cup history, setting an unprecedented record. Despite this, the encounter highlights both teams’ histories in the tournament and their respective capabilities, as Mexico has not been defeated in seven previous opening matches at the World Cup, while South Africa gains experience in their fourth participation. It is expected that Mexico’s coach, Javier Aguirre, will play a vital role in guiding the team's performance, with star players like César Montes and Oswin Aulis poised to stand out.
