Just in: FIFA revealed the official mascots for the 2026 World Cup! For the first time ever, the tournament will be hosted by three countries—United States, Mexico and Canada—and each nation has its own furry (or feathery) ambassador. ⚽🌎
In the U.S., meet Clutch the bald eagle 🦅—a symbol of strength and freedom. In Mexico, say hola to Zayu the jaguar 🐆, embodying agility and spirit. And in Canada, Maple the moose 🦌 brings that northern charm and big-hearted energy.
These mascots will hit the field alongside teams starting on June 11, 2026, marking the first World Cup across three nations. They’ll pump up crowds, star in promos, and maybe even join you at a fan fest!
Throwback time: Back in 1994, the U.S. World Cup mascot was Striker the dog, chosen from over 25,000 entries. Now Clutch, Zayu and Maple step into the spotlight to inspire a new generation of fans.
