The United States' first game of the #2026WorldCup was launched by a star-studded performance at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The global stars took over: #LISA, #Anitta, and REMA lit up the stadium, followed by Future and Tyla bringing the fire. The show started with an actor dressed in a gold Revolutionary War–inspired outfit marching across a white platform marked with a blue map of the United States. There was a booming drumline and a futsal player in bright yellow that added a burst of movement and flair. A fusion of history, culture, and music — the perfect prelude to the USMNT stepping onto the World Cup stage. 🌍💫 📸: Etienne Laruent, Patrick T. Fallon AFP via Getty Images; Frederic J.
