On June 11 local time, at the stadium in Mexico (Mexico), the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup was held, which will take place in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
The character Labubu from the Chinese fashion toy brand Pop Mart appeared at the ceremony in a costume dedicated to the World Cup, and six young football players from Inner Mongolia came onto the field as assistants to the flag bearers in the opening match.
It is reported that Ma Nin is the only Chinese referee included in the list of chief referees of the World Championship over the past 20 years. By this, he filled the gap in the position of the chief referee from China, which had been vacant since the World Championship in 2002 in South Korea and Japan. His career began in the city of Wuxi, Jiangsu province, and his path from a physical education teacher to an international-level referee has attracted wide attention.
