          With the 2026 FIFA World Cup held in North America, celebrities have been turning up at matches around the continent.

          The tournament began with headliners at Team USA's opening match, which took place in Los Angeles. That set the precedent for other big names throughout the group stage and beyond, including Travis Scott, Tom Brady and Tom Cruise, the latter of which attended the U.S. team's opener.

          There are 16 host cities across Canada, Mexico and the U.S. with the final held at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The U.S. has the most cities to host games. Canada has two (Toronto and Vancouver) and Mexico has three (Guadalajara, Mexico City and Monterrey).
