On March 3, to mark 100 Days to Go, the official FIFA World Cup 2026 Tournament poster debuted, celebrating the true spirit, excitement, and unity of the global showpiece event. The poster features a collage-style composition with a player at its centre, reflecting football’s unique ability to unite the world. It marks the final piece of the FIFA World Cup 2026 poster collection, complementing the 16 Official Host City Posters released last year.
For the first time in FIFA World Cup™ history, three artists collaborated to produce the official tournament poster. Canadian artist Carson Ting, Mexican artist Minerva GM, and American artist Hank Willis Thomas combined their talent and creative styles to design a piece that emphasises the connection and unification across the tournament.
“In 100 days, FIFA will welcome the world to North America to witness the greatest show on earth,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. “The Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Tournament Poster captures the energy, diversity and shared passion that will define the most inclusive edition of the tournament in history. From kick-off to the final whistle, billions of fans – in stadiums and across every continent – will experience moments that go beyond football, uniting cultures and celebrating unity on a truly global stage.”
A Game-Changing FIFA World Cup
As of 100 Days to Go, 42 teams have qualified for the tournament, including four debutants: Cabo Verde, Curaçao, Jordan and Uzbekistan. With six spots still up for grabs, the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Play-Off Tournament and European play-offs, to be held during this month’s window of the Men’s International Match Calendar (23-31 March), will determine the final six teams bound for North America.

Houston is ready to welcome the world!
