Mexico host the opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup against Canada at the iconic Estadio Azteca. With the home crowd behind them and a strong squad, Mexico are the clear favorites.
Mexico’s recent form has been impressive, with key players finding their rhythm in the build-up to the tournament. The home advantage at altitude could be a decisive factor.
Canada have improved significantly but may struggle with the pressure of the opening match and the hostile atmosphere in Mexico City.
