Mexico and South Africa will kick off the 2026 World Cup at the historic Estadio Azteca, where a massive capacity crowd is expected to pack the stands. The 2026 World Cup kicks off today, Thursday, June 11, with host nation Mexico facing South Africa in what is a rematch of a previous World Cup opening game. With fans already making their way to the stadium, expectations are sky-high for the attendance at one of soccer’s most storied venues. The iconic Estadio Azteca underwent a major renovation that began in May 2024 and has since been officially renamed Estadio Banorte. For the duration of the World Cup, however, FIFA is using the venue’s official registered name, and the governing body lists the stadium’s tournament capacity at 80,824 spectators. While tickets for some World Cup matches remain available, including the Group A contest between South Korea and Czech Republic, the opening match between Mexico and South Africa is completely sold out. The stadium’s total capacity of approximately 87,000 seats means the remaining spots are reserved for media and commercial partners. For fans still looking to attend, resale prices for the opener range anywhere from $2,800 to $17,000, a dramatic markup from FIFA’s official pricing. South African Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie spoke to the level of anticipation on his country’s side. “8,000 fans in the stadium for the opening match, lots of vuvuzelas, and I think 50,000 more are excited to travel,” he told Diario AS. Fans arrive before the FIFA World Cup 2026 inauguration game between Mexico and South Africa. A special venue for a special occasion The Estadio Azteca has been the backdrop for some of the most iconic moments in soccer history, from the legendary 1970 “Game of the Century” between Italy and West Germany to Diego Maradona’s unforgettable performance against England in 1986. Now it will host a World Cup opening game for the third time, the most of any stadium in history. The Mexico vs. South Africa matchup also carries its own distinct footnote in the record books. It will be the first time in World Cup history that two nations have faced each other in an opening game twice, the two sides having met in the very first match of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, a contest that ended 1-1. Sixteen years on, they meet again to kick off a new chapter. Other games scheduled at the Azteca Beyond Thursday’s opener, the Estadio Azteca is set to host several additional matches during the 2026 World Cup: Wednesday, June 17th: Uzbekistan vs. Colombia (Game 24)Wednesday, June 24th: Czech Republic vs. Mexico (Game 53)Tuesday, June 30th: 1º Group A vs. 3º Group C/E/F/H/I (Game 79 – Round of 16)Sunday, July 5th: Winner Game 79 vs. Winner Game 80 (Game 80 – Round of 16)
The Cooligans are getting World Cup ready! First, Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros reveal their World Cup Power Rankings, debating which nations belong in the top 15, where the USMNT stacks up against the world's best, and who should be considered the favorite heading into the tournament. Then, USWNT legend and World Cup winner Alex Morgan joins the show to discuss life after retirement, her new role as a mother, and the advice she'd give Christian Pulisic as he prepares for the biggest tournament of his career. Plus, USMNT stars Miles Robinson, Tim Weah, and Mark McKenzie stop by to discuss the pressure of representing the United States at a home World Cup, the excitement of bringing the tournament to New York, and why Weah and McKenzie felt compelled to speak out about rising World Cup ticket prices.
The USMNT will be preparing to the 2026 World Cup by hosting the game against Senegal, with star Christian Pulisic performing from the start. The pre-World Cup friendlies are underway, and the United States Men’s National Team, carrying the weight of expectation as a host nation, will face Senegal in the first match of their final preparation tour. With a high-profile matchup on the schedule, Christian Pulisic has been included in the starting lineup. Christian Pulisic is starting the game against Senegal. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino is using the games against the African nation and Germany to finalize his preferred lineups for the World Cup, meaning most of his top players will be featuring from the first whistle, and the AC Milan forward is no exception. Drawn into Group I alongside France, Iraq and Norway, Senegal faces what many consider the most difficult group of the entire tournament, yet the Lions of Teranga arrive in strong form. They claimed the Africa Cup of Nations title back in January, though the trophy was subsequently awarded to Morocco following a decision by the Confederation of African Football, and they will be eager to channel that energy into what matters most on the global stage. The USMNT vs. Senegal friendly will be held at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. After this warmup, the United States will conclude their preparations against Germany on June 6, while Senegal will face Saudi Arabia on June 9.

Across his last 21 games, 19 with AC Milan and two with the national team, he has failed to find the back of the net, a troubling statistic for the player the team will rely on most in the attacking third. Pochettino, however, has not wavered in his belief that the drought will end when it matters most. “Of course, OK, he didn’t score in the last, I don’t know, six months. He’s going to score in the World Cup. Yes, I really trust on that. I really trust (him). I have confidence on him. He has very good attitude, very good. He’s trying so hard to get his best level, and I think he will achieve it for sure,” the Argentine boss told reporters. Confirmed lineups for the USMNT and Senegal USMNT’s confirmed lineup (4-3-3): Matt Turner; Alex Freeman, Mark McKenzie, Tim Ream, Antonee Robinson; Giovanni Reyna, Tyler Adams, Sebastian Berhalter; Sergino Dest, Ricardo Pep, Christian Pulisic.Head coach: Mauricio Pochettino. Senegal’s confirmed lineup (3-4-3): Edouard Mendy; Mamadou Sarr, Abdoulaye Seck, Ismail Jakobs; Krepin Diatta, Lamine Camara, Bara Sapoko Ndiaye, Habib Diarra; Iliman Ndiaye, Nicolas Jackson, Sadio Mane.Head coach: Pape Thiaw.
After the USMNT's roster reveal, head coach Mauricio Pochettino explained the reasoning behind his decision to take 10 defenders to the 2026 World Cup. Mauricio Pochettino unveiled the United States Men’s National Team roster for the 2026 World Cup on Tuesday, and one of the most discussed decisions was the inclusion of 10 defenders on the 26-man list. At the press conference following the announcement, the Argentine head coach laid out his reasoning. The USMNT’s official World Cup squad was released on Tuesday, May 26, with the 26 players who made the cut. The decision to bring 10 defenders, five of them center backs and five fullbacks, drew immediate attention given that it left the squad with six midfielders and seven forwards, prompting questions about the balance of the group. When asked to explain the fullback selections, Pochettino pointed to the positional versatility many of those players bring. “(Some fullbacks) can be wingers too. Sergiño Dest plays more as a winger or midfielder. And Tim Weah is more of a winger or striker and can play in different positions,” he said, referencing a group that also includes Max Arfsten, Antonee Robinson, Alex Freeman and Joe Scally. On the five center backs, Pochettino cited both tactical logic and injury risk management as driving factors behind the decision to select Mark McKenzie, Tim Ream, Chris Richards, Miles Robinson and Auston Trusty. “It’s important to have enough bodies at center back, that’s why we have five, for different reasons. In the way that we assessed the situation of the 54 players on the provisional roster, we decided to include five because we wanted to be sure that we don’t take any risks,” the head coach said.

When we played against Jamaica, we used Antonee Robinson as a midfielder, and Tim Weah played as a winger there,” he added. Pochettino seeking maximum flexibility in his squad Across his 24 games in charge of the USMNT, Pochettino has consistently shown a willingness to change his shape and personnel depending on the opponent. While he has most frequently deployed a back four, the Argentine has also used a back three in significant matches against Uruguay, Ecuador and Japan, among others. That tactical adaptability is something Pochettino views as central to the team’s World Cup approach. “I think of plenty of possibilities to play. What we wanted to provide to the team is to have the best players and the right players to make the roster, and have this flexibility with different players so as not to give the opponent the ability to say, ‘We know exactly how they’re going to play,‘” he said. With friendly matches against Senegal and Germany on the horizon as final preparation, Pochettino believes that versatility will be a defining asset for the United States in the tournament itself. “We want to be flexible in a tactical way, and this roster gives us the possibility to play with a back four, a back three, with one holding midfielder, or without a holding midfielder and with more offensive players in front of the back three,” he added.
