The story of this one

Uzbekistan meet Colombia at Estadio Azteca on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, match 24 of the tournament and an opening statement — first impressions in a three-game sprint carry real weight. Group K sends its top two through automatically, with the eight best third-placed teams across all twelve groups also advancing — so neither side can afford a flat ninety minutes.

Mexico City provides the stage — hosts the tournament opener, becoming the first stadium ever to feature in three different men’s World Cups (1970, 1986, 2026). Kickoff is 20:00 stadium time (CST); fans of Uzbekistan and Colombia can check the exact hour back home in the times panel below.
