A night of history unfolded at Monterrey Stadium on Saturday, 20 June, as Japan dismantled Tunisia 4-0 in front of a sold-out crowd of 51,243 — the 1,000th match ever played in FIFA World Cup history.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Hisako, Princess Takamado of Japan were among those present at the state-of-the-art venue, which sits beneath the striking silhouette of the Cerro de la Silla mountain. The Group F encounter was each side's second outing at the FIFA World Cup 2026.
