📸 Party time in Mexico, countdown to the World Cup begins | OneFootball

The best football year is about to arrive! The 2026 World Cup is just 365 days away from its opening phase, and Mexico did not let the occasion pass by, as it will become the only country to host three World Cups.

This Wednesday, Clara Brugada, Head of Government of Mexico City, and Alessandro del Piero, former footballer, unveiled the countdown clock for the start of the World Cup.

Likewise, Samuel García, governor of Nuevo León, did the same in Monterrey, and Amaury Vergara, owner of Chivas, led the event in Guadalajara.

Each of the 16 World Cup host cities will have one of these clocks, and they will be distinguished by the color of each host: green for Mexico, blue for the United States, and red for Canada.

We are one year away from the start of a historic event, as this will be the first World Cup with 48 participating countries. For now, 13 teams have already qualified.
