The opening of the 2026 World Cup, hosted primarily by the United States, drew a star-studded crowd early this morning. The event, held in the last host nation, predictably became a magnet for numerous celebrities.
During the match between the USA and Paraguay, which the "Yanks" won convincingly 4-1, the VIP boxes at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California, were graced by figures such as members of the Beckham family, Tom Cruise, Paris Hilton, and Katy Perry, who performed during the ceremony, among many others.
As expected, FIFA President Gianni Infantino was also in attendance, but one notable absence was observed.
US President Donald Trump, a prominent advocate for the United States hosting the global championship and known as a significant sports enthusiast among North American public figures, was not seen in the VIP suites.
Despite his absence, the national team secured a decisive victory, making a strong statement that they could go far in this tournament.
