In addition to logistics, the DFB Mexico still seems critical due to altitude.

Mexico takes place in group A and challenged the opening match on June 11 in Mexico City. Canada runs group B, the United States takes place in group D. The World Cup will take place for the first time in 2026 with 48 teams and twelve groups of four.
