Summary
Mexico City hosted FIFA President Gianni Infantino for a pre-match news conference ahead of the 2026 World Cup's opening game.
The appearance came one day before Mexico faces South Africa in the tournament opener, putting FIFA's top official before media as the event begins.
The report offered no major policy announcement, focusing instead on the ceremonial buildup around a World Cup being staged in North America.
That backdrop coincided with early on-field attention elsewhere in the tournament, including the United States' 4-1 win over Paraguay in its first match.
