The international sporting community is in the final countdown for the historic 2026 FIFA World Cup, which officially kicks off on June 11th. Co-hosts Mexico are scheduled to open the tournament against South Africa, while defending champions Argentina—captained by Lionel Messi—are slated to begin their campaign just a few days later on June 16th against Algeria. Spanning across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, it is set to be the largest and most geographically expansive iteration of the tournament to date.
