[Mondial-2026] Mexique–Afrique du Sud : Des retrouvailles en ouverture pour lancer les hostilités
For their opening match in Group A, El Tri face South Africa in a duel reminiscent of a memorable encounter. In a curious twist of fate, this match is a rematch of the opening game of the 2010 World Cup. Back then, Bafana Bafana hosted the tournament and drew 1-1 with Mexico.
Sixteen years later, the context has changed, but the stakes remain immense. Boosted by its home crowd, Mexico hopes to make an ideal start to its tournament and confirm its ambitions in a competition where it will have the advantage of playing at home, particularly in the group stage.
Opposite them, South Africa returns to the world stage with the ambition of making a statement. Under the guidance of Belgian coach Hugo Broos, Bafana Bafana secured their place in their fourth World Cup finals by finishing top of Group C in the African qualifiers. Solid and disciplined, the South Africans fully intend to cause an upset right from this opening match.
Beyond the three points at stake, this opening match symbolizes the launch of a historic World Cup with 48 teams and organized in three countries.
