Ray D'Arcy

Mexico v. South Africa.

And the performance, the entertainment, is by Shakira.

and Burna Boy and they'll be performing this live for the first time.

Interesting fact, Mexico is the only country to host the World Cup three times.

Now they're not hosting it exclusively this time, but this is the third time matches in the World Cup were played in Mexico and that's a record, that's a record.

So there's three opening ceremonies.

So there's this one tonight.

And then tomorrow, it's the Canadian version of it.

Alanis Morissette and Michael Bublé, among others, will be performing in the BMO field in Toronto.

And then on Saturday, it's the American, the America's Turn.

Katy Perry and who else is there?

Tyler.

Other names I don't recognise.

They're performing at the opening ceremony for the US game.

And that's on Saturday.

I was looking at some of the stats people love stats because if you're not into the football you'd be into the stats so you know that there's 104 games there's 48 teams it's over 16 cities 16 different venues I'm looking at the biggest one is the AT&T Stadium in Texas that's a capacity of 93,000 and then the aforementioned BMO field in Toronto has 46,000

more than 1,200 players will be taking part in the World Cup because it's the biggest ever with 48 teams.

So the first round is 48.

I won't go into the stats of that because I'll bore you.

And what about the money and the tickets?
