The 2026 FIFA World Cup, hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, features Group A with Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, and the Czech Republic. This group is notable for including three nations from different continents, with Mexico as the host nation in some matches.
Mexico, a traditional football power, has qualified for every World Cup since 1994 and aims to advance past the round of 16 for the first time since 1986. South Africa returns to the World Cup for the first time since 2010, when they hosted the tournament. South Korea, a semi-finalist in 2002, brings experience from recent tournaments. The Czech Republic, competing as an independent nation, last appeared in 2006.
Group A matches are scheduled from June 11 to June 23, 2026, with venues including Mexico City's Estadio Azteca and other stadiums across North America. The top two teams will advance to the knockout stage.
