Estadio Azteca became, on June 11, 2026, the only venue in the world to host three World Cup openings. Shakira debuted ‘Dai Dai’ alongside Burna Boy, Maná, Belinda, and Los Ángeles Azules filled the field with color, and Lila Downs declared: “Peoples of the world, welcome to Mexico.” 🎤🇲🇽
And yet, social media split in two. One side says the ceremony was worthy, authentic, and had a Latin American soul. The other insists that for the event Infantino called “the biggest in the history of humanity”, the production felt rushed — far too little for such a grand stage. 🔥⚽
Was the opening up to the task, or did Mexico and the Azteca deserve more? 👇
