Qatar has become history. FIFA is already working on the preparations for the World Cup to be held next 2026 in Mexico, the United States and Canada. In fact, last Wednesday the organization prepared an event where Gianni Infantino (FIFA president) and Ronaldo presented the new logo that will represent the World Cup.
FIFA said in a statement that “for the first time in history, an image of the trophy and the year are depicted together. This forms an innovative visual language that makes the emblem serve for 2026 and beyond”. The new campaign that will accompany this logo, unified under the slogan “We Are 26” (#somos26), was also presented.
It also explains that the simplicity of the color palette (white, black and gold) “is designed to make the trophy stand out. The simplicity, elegance and boldness of the black and white serves to balance with the expressiveness that each city will bring to the brand.”
However, the reception of the logo has not exactly been as expected. Fans and non-football fans alike began to harshly criticize the logo, describing it as “terribly ugly and simple“, among other things.
On what date will the 2026 World Cup be held?
Although there are still a few years to go before the World Cup materializes before us, we already know some dates. Fans will be able to enjoy the tournament from June 11 to July 19, 2026. As we mentioned at the beginning of the piece, the official venues are Mexico, the United States and Canada.
