Global Excitement! Celebrating the Opening of FIFA World Cup 26! McDonald's "VIVA! World Mac"Appears!

"McDonald's Japan," serving as an official sponsor and official restaurant of FIFA World Cup 26, will release all 8 items of "VIVA! World Mac," Japan-original products inspired by North and Central America, for a limited time starting Wednesday, June 17.

Burgers easily recognized by their special buns made to look like a soccer ball. Including Morning Mac and Night Mac exclusive items, this is a lineup that can be enjoyed throughout the day along with the excitement of the "FIFA World Cup." In the new TV commercial, Junichi Okada takes office as "Coach Okada" and powerfully declares, "I will definitely eat it." Since it was close to the actual timing of the national team roster announcement, the filming site was reportedly filled with a sense of tension.

In addition, at the new product announcement event, starting with Junichi Okada (an actor in Japan), former Japan national football team DF Yuji Nakazawa and actress Yuka Kageyama also appeared. Each actually praised the new burgers! With great volume and characterized by appetizing aromas, the 3 items are said to be perfect for meals during the match or at halftime. They also shared highlight points of the "FIFA World Cup" held once every four years.

Now, let us introduce all 8 items!
