## Resource

FIFA is revolutionizing the World Cup pre-game ritual by making every player — starters and subs alike — take part in the national anthem ceremony for the first time ever, turning it into a massive, fan-friendly spectacle centered around unity and emotion. Players will gather in the center circle, facing each other as anthems play, with captains still handling the coin toss and handshake. Massive flags, fireworks, and pre-recorded anthems will amplify the experience across all 104 matches, while host nations Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. will enjoy even grander openings featuring global music stars like Shakira, Michael Bublé, and Future. This bold move aims to deepen national pride and fan engagement — a sharp contrast to last year’s divisive Club World Cup format.
