FIFA World Cup 2026
Group A
Group storyline
Group A opens the 2026 World Cup with a co-host story — Mexico becomes the first nation to host three World Cups, kicking off the tournament at the Estadio Azteca. South Africa returns after a tight CAF qualifying campaign, South Korea brings its battle-tested AFC discipline, and Czechia rejoins the global stage after a competitive UEFA qualifying run. Geography and continental variety make this a true opener — every match is a culture clash on the same pitch.
