All FIFA World Cup Logos (1930 → 2026)
A retrospective look at all the official emblems of the planet’s premier national team tournament from 1930 to 2026.
We review the visual history of the different logos the FIFA World Cup has featured throughout its history.
In its early editions, the cup featured posters created specifically to advertise each tournament, while the first time a logo was seen was for the 1954 edition in Switzerland.
Starting with Mexico 1970, the application of an emblem closer to the current ones began to be noticed, with most of them highlighting the name and colors of the host country, the year of the edition, and the figure of a ball.
FIFA began to include the name of the championship in the first tournament in history to have two host countries (Korea/Japan) and to be played outside the American or European continents.
Since Brazil 2014, and as is the case in the vast majority of FIFA tournaments, it was decided that the emblem would be based on the silhouette of the famous trophy, incorporating graphics and colors characteristic of the hosts.
For 2026, which will have three hosts (Mexico, USA, and Canada), the actual image of the trophy will be seen for the first time inside the intertwined numbers 2 and 6 that form the year of the tournament, and in turn, a 26 that is part of the official slogan “We Are 26”.
