The FIFA World Cup 2026 kicked off with an electrifying opening ceremony where international music sensations Shakira and Burna Boy gave a riveting show at the Estadio Azteca stadium.
Shakira and Burna Boy presented the official anthem of the championship called “Dai Dai” at an impressive ceremony that was filled with music, dancing, and vivid displays reflecting the culture and football tradition of Mexico. Estadio Azteca became the first ever stadium in the history of FIFA World Cups to host football matches for the third time in three tournaments after having hosted games in 1970 and 1986.
Estadio Azteca will go down in the annals of football history because of memorable moments associated with the most famous footballers of all time such as Pelé and Diego Maradona.
With a dazzling opening show and a festive atmosphere, FIFA World Cup 2026 has officially begun in grand style.
