A Proud Tribute to Mexico

Salma has become a prominent cultural ambassador for her country, appearing at midfield to speak on behalf of the nation where she was born and which she proudly represents, during the FIFA opening ceremony.

“The World Cup returns to this land, to this stadium, and together with Canada and the United States, we welcome the entire world as we receive the flags of the 48 nations qualified for the FIFA World Cup Mexico 2026,” Salma said.

“¡Viva México!” she declared enthusiastically.

After addressing the crowd at Mexico City Stadium and viewers around the world, Salma was spotted in a prime location alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The executive showcased the highly sought-after World Cup trophy that teams will compete for during the tournament, and the Mexican star had the chance to hold it herself.

Salma made a striking impression at the historic occasion. The 58-year-old actress dazzled in an elegant red pantsuit, featuring wide-leg trousers and a tailored blazer that beautifully accentuated her silhouette. She confidently paired the look with a chic Gucci blouse and sleek black heels, while her signature dark hair flowed gracefully.
