Mexico vs South Africa
Estadio Azteca, Mexico City | 20:20 (SA Time)
Tonight the FIFA World Cup 2026 officially begins as South Africa faces Mexico in the opening match at the iconic Estadio Azteca.
A historic rematch of the unforgettable 2010 opener that ended 1–1, once again bringing these nations together on football’s biggest stage.
Estadio Azteca becomes the first stadium to host three World Cup opening matches, as the tournament launches the biggest edition yet with 48 nations competing.
From all of us at Pam Golding Properties Middelburg, we wish Bafana Bafana the very best of luck as they proudly represent South Africa.
