FIFA World Cup is set to be hosted in USA Mexico and Canada

FIFA has released the official logo and identity for the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

"WE ARE 26" will also be the slogan of the occasion, which is making its first trip back to Northern and Central America since 1994. The iconic World Cup trophy is placed on top of the two numerals, which are a white "2" and a "6," respectively.

The renowned trophy is utilised in the official emblem for the first time, and none of the host nation's traditional colours, such as the red, white, and blue shield that was prominent in 1994, are present.

"FIFA president Gianni Infantino said of the branding: WE ARE 26 is a rallying cry. It’s a moment when three countries and an entire continent collectively say: We are united as one to welcome the world and deliver the biggest, best and most inclusive FIFA World Cup ever.’'

"The tournament will enable each host country and participating team to write their own page in the history books of FIFA World Cups, and this unique brand is a major step on that road to 2026.”

“Of course, Los Angeles is an important city, is one of the 16 cities. Obviously it is a hub. It is an entry hub in America. It is the city where the final of the last World Cup in United States was played as well. We don’t know yet where the final of this World Cup will be played. This is still up for grabs, so to say."

"So please send us your offers and make sure that we beef up the proposals, but Los Angeles will be one of the important cities of this World Cup, definitely.”

Every of the 16 host cities—11 in the United States, two in Canada, and three in Mexico—will have its own distinctive branding with various designs and hues. The competition's logo will be made available in various forms on Thursday.
