Los Angeles: The journey towards the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada has officially begun! In a grand event at the prestigious Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, FIFA unveiled the official logo for the highly-anticipated football tournament.
With FIFA President Gianni Infantino and legendary two-time World Cup champion Ronaldo Nazário in attendance, the logo is a stunning depiction of the coveted FIFA World Cup trophy placed front and centre. The background is equally impressive, featuring the tournament’s year in bold typography.
The upcoming tournament will be expanding from 32 to 48 teams and will be jointly hosted by three countries, marking an unprecedented moment in history. The President of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, has acknowledged the challenges that come with such an arrangement. He emphasized the logistical complexities associated with hosting the tournament across a vast continent encompassing three substantial nations.
Infantino has announced that teams participating in the expanded tournament will be organised into regional clusters in the early rounds. This decision has been made to facilitate smoother travel arrangements for the participating teams, considering the vast scale of the 2026 finals.
