The official mascots for the 2026 FIFA World Cup have been revealed, featuring three animals representing the tournament’s host nations: the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Each character embodies a national symbol and appears in the respective country’s football kit. The bald eagle, recognized as the national bird of the United States, is depicted in the blue away jersey of the U.S. national team.
Representing Canada is a deer, shown wearing the nation’s red home uniform. Its design draws inspiration from the maple leaf, a prominent national emblem.
A jaguar named Zayu symbolizes Mexico, featured in the country’s green home shirt. The jaguar holds deep cultural significance in Mexican history, often associated with strength and courage in ancient civilizations like the Maya.
The 2026 World Cup is scheduled to be held from June 11 to July 19 across various cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
