VDue to violence in some parts of Mexico, doubts remain whether the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held as normal. But Guadalajara wants to turn the page and welcome the legendary FIFA trophy that crowns the tournament’s winner.
It seems that Jalisco now wants to think only about the World Cup after what happened last weekend. That’s why the trophy arrives so fans can see it up close on their way to the highly anticipated tournament.
When is the opening ceremony of the 2026 World Cup?
The opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Mexico/Canada/USA, between the Mexican and South African national teams, will be held at the legendary Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on Thursday, June 11, 2026.
FIFA World Cup Trophy visits Guadalajara
In this way, the legendary FIFA World Cup winner’s trophy will visit Guadalajara. According to information from reporter David Medrano, it is expected that this may cause fans to forget about what happened and focus on upcoming events.
Soon, the organizers of the 2026 World Cup will confirm everything necessary for people to take part and not miss the chance to see the legendary trophy in Jalisco this weekend.
There is no danger for Mexico vs. South Korea in the 2026 World Cup.
The Mexican government has made it clear that hosting the 2026 World Cup is not in jeopardy, so they hope fans do not panic in the face of the rumors.
Mexico thus demands that the whole world understand that what happened is now in the past and that violence, neither in Guadalajara nor at any other Mexican venue, will take center stage at the 2026 World Cup.
