Who is performing at World Cup opening ceremony? Mexico, USA and Canada will all be hosting their own show with musical guests before their first matches.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup started with bang as three send offs rocked Mexico’s 2-0 victory against South Africa in Mexico City, a rematch of the 2010 tournament opener.

South Africa's Phopolo Sithole and Themba Zwane were both red-carded before the Mexican captain Csar Montes was sent off as well.
