FIFA has revealed the three official mascots for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, each representing one of the host nations: Maple the Moose for Canada, Zayu the Jaguar for Mexico, and Clutch the Bald Eagle for the United States.
All three mascots come with individual personalities, storylines, and designated positions on the field, and they appear in their national football kits.
Maple the Moose (Canada)
Canada’s mascot, Maple the Moose, is portrayed as a goalkeeper wearing the country’s red home kit. FIFA describes Maple as a creative, music-loving character with strong leadership qualities and a passion for street culture.
Zayu the Jaguar (Mexico)
Mexico’s representative is Zayu the Jaguar, a striker dressed in the traditional green home strip. The jaguar carries deep cultural importance in ancient Mexican civilisations, and Zayu is characterised as an agile and clever forward who unsettles defenders with ease.

Clutch the Bald Eagle (USA)
For the United States, Clutch the Bald Eagle takes the role of a midfielder in the blue away kit. The character is depicted as adventurous and unifying, symbolising purpose, energy, and playfulness both on and off the pitch.
The trio will feature prominently throughout the tournament and also form part of FIFA’s commercial rollout. President Gianni Infantino confirmed that mascot-themed merchandise, including shirts, will be available through FIFA’s official sales platforms.
