Last update: 10 hours agoWorld Cup Kickoff: The 2026 FIFA World Cup starts Thursday with Mexico vs. South Africa, and for the first time the three hosts—USA, Canada, and Mexico—each stage their own opening ceremony: Mexico City (June 11, Estadio Azteca), Toronto (June 12, BMO Field), and Los Angeles (June 12, SoFi Stadium). Paraguay Focus: The U.S. opens Group D against Paraguay on Friday, June 12 in Los Angeles—an early test for Paraguay as fans gear up for a long-awaited return. Public Health Watch: Health experts warn the biggest risks during the tournament are not rare outbreaks, but already-circulating illnesses like measles, dengue, respiratory viruses, and sexually transmitted infections, which can spread faster in crowded travel and stadium settings. Fan Culture & Access: Cities across North America are rolling out free watch parties and big-screen events for the opener, while ticketing chatter continues as some venues still show unsold seats and resale listings.
