Today marks 100 days remaining until the FIFA World Cup 2026™, which will be hosted jointly by Canada, Mexico, and the United States. This tournament will feature a record 104 matches, beginning at Mexico City Stadium on June 11 and concluding with the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19.
To commemorate the 100-day countdown, the official FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament poster has been unveiled, highlighting the excitement, spirit, and unity of this global event. The poster features a collage-style design with a player at its center, symbolizing football’s power to bring the world together. It completes the FIFA World Cup 2026 poster collection, complementing the 16 official host city posters released last year.
“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.”
For the first time in FIFA World Cup™ history, three artists collaborated to create the official Tournament Poster. Canadian artist Carson Ting, Mexican artist Minerva GM, and American artist Hank Willis Thomas pooled their talents and creative styles to design a piece that highlights connection and unity throughout the tournament. Additional information about the Tournament Poster is available on FIFA.com.
As of the 100-day mark remaining, forty-two teams have secured qualification for the tournament, including four debuting nations: Cabo Verde, Curaçao, Jordan, and Uzbekistan. With six remaining spots, the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Play-Off Tournament and European play-offs scheduled during this month’s Men’s International Match Calendar window (March 23-31) will determine the final six teams that will advance to North America.
