The 2026 FIFA World Cup will feature not one but three official mascots
This reflects the joint hosting across the United States, Mexico and Canada.
FIFA announced the trio on Thursday, less than nine months before the opening match on June 11.
The mascots are Clutch, a bald eagle symbolising the US; Zayu, a jaguar representing Mexico; and Maple, a moose chosen for Canada.
FIFA said the characters embody the culture and wildlife of each host nation.
The 2026 edition will be the first World Cup staged in three countries — the US, Canada and Mexico — and the first with an expanded 48-team format.
