The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and the official mascots—Clutch the Bald Eagle, Maple the Moose, and Zayu the Jaguar—were unveiled to symbolise these nations. Each mascot embodies the culture, values, and natural heritage of its respective country, emphasizing unity and diversity. This marks the first time FIFA has introduced multiple mascots for a senior men’s World Cup, aligning with the multi-nation hosting format. The tournament, the largest ever with 48 teams and 104 matches, will highlight North America’s role in global football and celebrate the shared spirit of the game.
