The FIFA 2026 Men's World Cup tournament has finally kicked off. The first match was played between co-host Mexico and South Africa with Mexico clinching the win 2-0. However, the world cup opening ceremony was the highlight as pop-star Shakira injected energy into the stadium. Hollywood star Salma Hayek was picked to give the opening address. Meanwhile, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum was also in attendance, and her reaction to Mexico's goal has gone viral. However, there were protests outside the stadium where teachers clashed with police over better pay and working conditions. Many people also criticised the opening ceremony which started late and then had two giant Labubus dancing on the field.
