The 2026 FIFA World Cup opening match will be held in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. Interestingly, the city also hosts the country's only Ottoman monument.

According to Oxu.Az, "Hürriyet" reported this information. The clock tower, gifted by Ottoman-origin immigrants as a symbol of independence, is one of the city's notable landmarks.

Located in the historic center, the Ottoman Clock (Reloj Otomano) stands as a token of loyalty in the Mexican capital. Thousands of tourists visit this historic site every day.

The Ottoman Clock attracts attention not only for its architecture but also for its historical significance. It was gifted in 1910 on the 100th anniversary of Mexico's independence by immigrants of Ottoman origin, including Turks, Syrians, and Lebanese.
