Description
"I think that it is a great privilege," says one Mexican, after FIFA announced that the opening game of the 2026 World Cup will be held at Mexico City's iconic Azteca Stadium. However, some football fans were not so impressed, with one suggesting it would be "more iconic and historic" if the final were also played in the Mexican capital. The final will be held at the MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey, the culmination of the expanded 48-team tournament being co-hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
