Vancouver's unique Official Host City Poster for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ captures Vancouver’s connection to nature and the spirit of the beautiful game.

To celebrate one year until the world’s biggest football event arrives in Vancouver, we hosted youth ages 8 to 10 from BC Soccer’s Access to Soccer program for an experience they’ll never forget!

The FIFA World Cup 2026™ Volunteer Program unites passionate individuals from all backgrounds to help welcome the world to Canada and its Host Cities, Vancouver and Toronto.

Maple™ the Moose (Canada), Zayu™ the Jaguar (Mexico) and Clutch™ the Bald Eagle (United States) have been thoughtfully developed to reflect the vibrant culture, heritage and spirit of their respective countries, coming together to symbolise unity, diversity and the shared passion for the beautiful game.

Combining the words “tri”, meaning three and “onda”, meaning wave in Spanish, TRIONDA symbolizes a collective wave of joy flowing across the three host nations, uniting the world through football.
