Robert Horry said he wants the 2026 World Cup to let countries “come together and have fun,” casting the tournament as a chance for sports to bridge divisions.
The 55-year-old former NBA star made the remarks as the expanded event opens across North America, with 48 countries competing in 104 matches.
The United States will host 78 games — including the final — while Mexico and Canada will each stage 13 matches in the joint tournament.
Mexico opened with a 2-0 win over South Africa, while Canada was set to face Bosnia and Herzegovina and the U.S. to open against Paraguay in Inglewood.
Argentina entered the tournament as defending champion after beating France in the 2022 final, adding to expectations around a World Cup Horry hopes carries a broader unifying effect.
