Fifa: Presented the logo of the World Cup '26, contains the Cup

(ANSA) - LOS ANGELES, MAY 18 - The sports trophy that, together with the gold medal of the Olympics, is the best known and coveted on the planet, the FIFA World Cup, is the protagonist of the official logo of the 2026 edition of the world championship tournament.
In fact, for the first time in history an image of the trophy is part of the symbol of a World Cup, together with the last two numbers, 26, of the year in which the competition will take place.
The logo of the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the USA, Canada and Mexico, then in three countries and for the first time with 48 teams, was presented in Los Angeles by FIFA President Gianni Infantino and two-time world champion RonaldoFenomeno. The world football body underlines in a statement that it is "an innovative design that will anchor the emblem of the FIFA World Cup for 2026 and the years to come. The image with the trophy and the year allows the brand to be customised to reflect the unique character of each venue, creating a recognisable structure today and in the future."
The event also served to publicise the 'Somos26' campaign, which encourages individuals, municipalities and communities to actively participate in the presentation of the official 2026 World Cup brand. "We are 26 is the watchword," Infantino said. This is the moment when three countries and an entire continent proclaim with one voice: we unite with one voice to welcome the planet and host the largest, most spectacular and inclusive World Cup of all time. The competition will give host countries and participating teams the chance to make history. In this sense, this unique brand represents an important step towards 2026.
As we celebrate this presentation in Los Angeles, we think the whole world will meet in North America in three years' time for the biggest show on the planet." (ANSA).
