There are many sporting tournaments which have been joyous for all the fans to witness around the world right now, but none of them compare to the FIFA World Cup which is one of the most global sporting events watched by billions of people. The fans get to see some great players showing their sportsmanship through the beautiful game. They go head-to-head to make their nation proud by winning one of the most iconic trophies in the world. Players like Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo have featured in this tournament and have achieved a lot for their nation. They have established themselves as the GOAT of modern-day football.

The previous edition in 2022 was won by Argentina who finally achieved glory after 36 years. This was the happiest moment for all Argentine players and fans who finally saw Messi lift the cup and win the golden ball as well. The next edition of this tournament will be held in 2026 and we can be sure of the fact that this upcoming tournament will also have the same hype as the previous one. It will feature 48 teams and the matches will be held across 3 countries namely USA, Mexico and Canada. We are sure that this will be another great tournament to witness by everyone all around the world.

Opening game to happen in Aztec

The Aztec stadium in Mexico will be the place where the World Cup will begin with the Mexico team looking promising as well. The Mexican team have been known to surprise a lot of teams in the past, even though their best in the World Cup has only been reaching the quarter-finals, they have still managed to give us some great games. The likes of Chicharito Hernandez and Guillermo Ochoa are some of the names that come to mind. The Aztec stadium will also be the first venue to host the World Cup on 3 separate occasions.

We don’t know if the tournament will have the same impact as the last season since it has created a lot of high standards, but the spectators and players will be excited to witness this global sports event which is two years away from happening. We might not get the same legends that we have celebrated in the past. However, there will be the same competitive spirit and talent showcased in this tournament. There have been a lot of legends that have stepped into the field and we will not mind seeing that once again this time moving to the West in one of the most iconic continents in the world.
