As time inexorably flows towards the 2026 World Cup, the mascots for the upcoming sports fiesta have been introduced.

This time, fans will be delighted by three characters: Clutch, Zayu, and Maple.

Each will represent its respective country and its traditions: the USA, Mexico, and Canada.

Moreover, FIFA has decided to assign positions on the field for each mascot. Thus, Clutch became a defender, Zayu - a forward, and Maple - a goalkeeper.

Allow us to officially introduce ourselves. #WeAre26 | #FIFAWorldCup
