FIFA World Cup Logo 2026: FIFA unveiled the logo for the 2026 World Cup on Wednesday evening in North America, which has already sparked significant discussions within the global football community. Many fans believe that WC 2026 logo is too simplistic and ‘ugly’.
The upcoming tournament will mark several notable changes, including an expansion of participating teams from 32 to 48 and the historic collaboration of three countries as joint hosts for the first time.
FIFA World Cup 2026: New Format
The 2026 World Cup is set to feature an expanded format with 48 teams, resulting in a total of 104 matches instead of the usual 64. This announcement was made ahead of FIFA’s Congress in Kigali, Rwanda.
The tournament will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, marking the first time in the event’s history that 48 teams will participate. The final match is scheduled to take place on July 19.
The proposed format will continue to have four teams per group, as a previous suggestion for three-team groups was rejected due to concerns about potential collusion. Additionally, the number of groups will increase from eight to 12.
Argentina will aim to retain their championship title following their thrilling victory in Qatar, where they defeated France in a penalty shootout, with Lionel Messi triumphantly raising the renowned trophy.
