Good to know

Why does this countdown use June 8?

FIFA’s intended schedule begins with a centenary celebration ceremony and first matches across June 8–9, 2030. This page counts to June 8 as the earliest published start date; the final match-day and kick-off allocation can still change.

Date-only countdowns compare calendar dates in the governing timezone. They do not invent a start time.
