Soccer fans, get ready to meet Clutch, Zayu and Maple – the official mascots for the 2026 FIFA World Cup! 🌎⚽️ For the first time ever, the tourney kicks off in three host nations: the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
In the U.S., Clutch the bald eagle takes center stage. With those iconic wings, he’s ready to soar through stadiums from New York to Los Angeles. In Mexico, Zayu the jaguar brings fierce energy and colourful flair, perfect for the vibrant matchdays in Mexico City and beyond. And up north in Canada, Maple the moose is all about that friendly, spirited vibe – think cozy chalet watch parties in Toronto to Vancouver’s scenic stadium views.
FIFA dropped this mascot trio less than nine months before the June 11 opener. It’s a playful nod to North America’s wildlife while uniting fans across borders. Whether you’re cheering at a street food party in Jakarta, a café watch-along in Manila, or a rooftop gathering in Mumbai, these mascots are here to hype up your #FootballFever.
Pro tip: Snap a pic with your fave mascot art, tag us, and use #WorldCup2026 to join the global party. Who’s capturing your heart – Clutch, Zayu or Maple? 💬👇
