The draw for the 2026 World Cup will take place on Friday, December 5, at 6 PM IST. Today, FIFA revealed the tournament’s group allocation and other details. The host countries—Mexico, Canada, and the United States—will be placed in Groups A, B, and D, respectively.
The opening match is set for June 11 at the iconic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, where Mexico will play against a team from Pot 3. Due to geographical reasons, Panama cannot be their opponent. Mexico will face one of the following eleven teams: Norway, Egypt, Algeria, Scotland, Paraguay, Tunisia, Ivory Coast, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, or South Africa. Notably, South Africa played against Mexico in the opening match of the 2010 World Cup, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
