It all starts with Mexico. The 2026 World Cup opens at one of the North American cathedrals, Estadio Azteca, as El Tri host South Africa. In 2022, Mexico fielded one of the oldest squads and failed to exit the group stage, but hopes are high as the host nation boasts squad depth and high-flying speed.
