FIFA Reveals Official Poster for 2026 World Cup Celebrating 100 Days Until Kickoff
The FIFA World Cup™ has unveiled the official poster for the 2026 tournament, marking just 100 days until the world’s biggest football event, which will be hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
The official poster represents the final piece in a series of tournament posters, following the reveal of the host city posters earlier last year. The design reflects the spirit of this global championship and the excitement and unity it inspires among nations. At its center stands a football player, surrounded by symbolic images that demonstrate football’s ability to bring the world together around a shared passion.
For the first time in World Cup history, three artists from the host nations collaborated to design the official tournament poster: Canadian Carson Ting, Mexican Minerva J. M., and American Hank Willis. The trio combined their distinct creative styles to produce a work of art that emphasizes human connection and the cultural diversity that will characterize this edition of the World Cup.
The tournament will kick off on June 11, 2026, at the Mexico City Stadium, with the final match scheduled for July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey. This edition will see a record 104 matches played, making it the largest tournament since its inception.
In a statement regarding the event, FIFA President Gianni Infantino emphasized that the world will unite in North America in just 100 days to witness the greatest sporting event on the planet. He noted that the official poster embodies the energy, diversity, and shared passion that define this most inclusive World Cup in history.
Infantino added that billions of fans around the world will experience moments that transcend football, with the tournament serving as a global platform to celebrate various cultures and promote values of unity among peoples.
The 2026 World Cup is set to be exceptional, with 42 teams having already qualified for the finals, including four teams that will make their debut: Cape Verde, Curaçao, Jordan, and Uzbekistan. The remaining six spots will be determined during the global playoff and European playoff matches scheduled between March 23 and 31.
Regarding tickets, FIFA has announced that the final sales phase will start in April, with remaining tickets sold on a first-come, first-served basis until the end of the tournament. Additionally, those interested in attending select matches can take advantage of hospitality packages offering a luxurious viewing experience, which include match tickets.
