The 2026 World Cup opened with a breathtaking celebration at the legendary Estadio Azteca.

From the moment a glowing golden sphere transformed into the World Cup trophy ✨, the energy was electric. Rooted in Mexico’s ancestral heritage, the ceremony blended ancient Aztec visuals with modern global flair.

Then came the music 💃🏽🎶
🎤 Maná set the tone. Danny Ocean kept it flowing. Los Ángeles Azules had the crowd dancing nonstop. J Balvin turned the heat ALL the way up with “Qué Calor”. And just when it couldn’t get bigger… 🔥 Shakira and Burna Boy delivered the official World Cup anthem, bringing a powerful fusion of Latin and African vibes to the global stage. The ceremony ended with fireworks in green, white, and red lighting up the sky—a perfect tribute to Mexico before kickoff.
