Group A · 2026 World Cup
Group A of the 2026 World Cup brings together hosts Mexico, opening the tournament with the iconic Azteca as their fortress, alongside a battling South Korea led by Son Heung-min, a disciplined Czech Republic and a South Africa eager to spring a surprise with their intense football. Mexico are favourites thanks to home advantage and experience, but the Asian flair and European solidity promise a balanced, vibrant opening group.
