World Cup 2026 opening ceremonies feature Canadian Snowbirds flypast and Korean fan Phương Quyên

The opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Toronto on 12 June showcased a fly‑past by the Royal Canadian Air Force’s Snowbirds aerobatic team. The CT‑114 Tutor jets, painted in Canada’s red‑white colours, swept over BMO Field moments before Canada’s first match against Bosnia & Herzegovina, adding a distinctly national flair to the event that also included performances by Michael Bublé and other Canadian artists.

In Vietnam, the TV program “Nóng cùng FIFA World Cup 2026” highlighted the Korean national team’s fan‑icon, Phương Quyên. A former Top‑10 Miss World Vietnam 2025 contestant, Quyên gained attention for her striking looks and social‑media presence, becoming one of the most talked‑about faces associated with the tournament’s side‑event coverage in the country.
