Remarks

↑ ^a ^b There was no official opening game in the first tournaments, the first game played was included in this list, since FIFA now counts these games as opening games (see: fifa.com: FIFA World Cup Opening Matches ). From 1958 the host opened the tournament, in 1974 it was introduced that the world champion opened the tournament, since 2006 the host started again.
↑ In 1938 the stadium was intended for the game Sweden against Austria, which was canceled due to the annexation of Austria to the German Empire, so that only 1998 games took place in Lyon.
