FIFA unveils Seattle World Cup logo
On April 3, the Seattle FIFA World Cup 26 Local Organizing Committee (SeattleFWC26) announced the winner of the Official FIFA World Cup 26 Seattle Host City Poster contest during the Pioneer Square First Thursday Art Walk.
The poster is one of 16 posters that will be unveiled over the next month, as each Host City for the FIFA World Cup 26 will reveal artwork to their region to celebrate the tournament.

This is the first time that a FIFA World Cup has worked with local artists specific to each host city to design each location's poster.
During Seattle's unveiling, attendees heard from Shogo Ota, the winning designer. Ota, hailing originally from Japan, has called the Pacific Northwest home for more than a decade and owns and operates Tireman Studio from Camano Island, Washington.
Seattle's official poster will be shared internationally as a lasting symbol of Seattle's role in the world's biggest sporting event, showcasing our city's unique identity to fans across the globe.
'The City of Seattle is proud to be one of 16 host cities in North America for the 2026 FIFA World Cup games, and even more proud to welcome the world to the Pacific Northwest region,' said Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell. 'We are hard at work preparing to ensure the region is ready to both host a once-in-a-lifetime experience for locals and visitors from across the globe and showcase the rich history, vibrant culture, and beauty of our region and our communities. This poster is a reflection of who we are and what makes our region special.'

Toronto May Scale Back Funding for 2026 FIFA World Cup, Mayor Says
Funding may need to be scaled back for the six 2026 FIFA World Cup matches set to take place in Toronto next June, as financial discussions between the city and the Ontario government continue, Mayor Olivia Chow says. A May 20 from Toronto's World Cup Secretariat to city council indicates the expenses associated with public transport, law enforcement, and health-care services, among other areas, have risen to nearly $40 million overall—suggesting a substantial amount of the money Ontario promised to the city will be eaten up by existing commitments.

2025 FIFA Club World Cup: Teams, Players, and Everything to Know About New-Look Tournament
While even-numbered years bring the world the FIFA World Cup, the Euros and the Summer Olympics, odd-numbered years are normally glossed over when it comes to soccer competitions. That may change this summer, not with a new international soccer tournament but with an enhanced version of an existing one—the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which will be held every four years going forward, and whose organizer hopes will become a must-see event for global soccer fans, just as the FIFA World Cup is quadrennially. What's New About It? The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will run from June 14 to July 13 and will be hosted by 11 cities in the United States. The event has been around, albeit to minimal fanfare, since 2000, but this year it's both the first to take place during the summer, and it's the first to have 32 teams. Previous editions were usually held in December and had seven teams, as was the case of the last Club World Cup in 2023, won by Manchester City. The format will resemble what fans are accustomed to: eight groups of four, with the teams within each group facing off. The top two teams from each group advance to the knockout stage with a Round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals and then a championship game. Who's Competing? This World Cup is for clubs, not countries. You will see top club teams such as Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Inter Miami. The simplest way a team qualified for this event was by winning their confederation's club championship—i.e. the UEFA Champions League or CONCACAF Champions League—over the last four years, or by being among the top-ranked teams within those confederations on a rolling four-year cycle.
