FIFA Unveils Official 2026 World Cup Host City Posters
FIFA has officially unveiled the 16 host city posters for the 2026 World Cup, each a vibrant celebration of local culture and footballing passion. Designed by local artists, these posters showcase the unique spirit of each city set to host the world’s biggest sporting event.
These iconic posters do more than promote the tournament. They have become a World Cup tradition highlighting each city’s identity and celebrate their unique role in welcoming the world. As the kickoff approaches, these designs help build excitement and show off the diversity behind the World Cup stage. Here’s a closer look at five standout cities.
Mexico City (Mexico)
Mexico City comes in hot with a poster designed by Cuemanche — a bold mix of Aztec heritage and modern city life. The Angel of Independence and Estadio Azteca stand out, anchoring the artwork in national pride. Importantly, Estadio Azteca will host the opening match on June 11, 2026.
This legendary stadium, with room for 85,000 fans, already hosted finals in 1970 and 1986. Now, it becomes the first stadium to feature in three World Cups, a fitting honor.
Meanwhile, the city itself is a sensory overload in the best way. Street tacos, murals, ancient ruins, and nonstop energy surround every visitor. In short, this isn’t just a football city — it’s a living, breathing showcase of Mexican culture. The poster captures that vibe perfectly.
Boston (United States)
Boston’s poster, created by John Rego, is quirky and proud. Lobsters, lighthouses, and bold colors meet football flair, giving New England its own visual anthem.
Matches will take place at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, a 65,000-seat venue known for loud crowds and big moments. It’ll also host a quarterfinal, no small task for a city that breathes sport.
Furthermore, Boston offers history with every step. From the Freedom Trail to Fenway Park, tradition runs deep here. Add in seafood joints, Irish pubs, and passionate locals, and you’ve got a top-tier World Cup destination.
In the end, the poster blends Boston’s charm with football’s intensity. It doesn’t try to be flashy — it’s honest, tough, and ready to deliver.
Dallas (United States)
Dallas goes big — no surprise there. Matt Cliff’s poster features a cowboy mid-bicycle kick, set against a blazing skyline. It’s confident, bold, and exactly what you’d expect from Texas.
The football action lands at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. With a retractable roof and space for nearly 100,000 fans, it’s one of the largest and most advanced venues in the U.S. Notably, it will host nine matches, including a semifinal, more than any other city.
Off the field, Dallas delivers a full-on experience: barbecue, live music, and southern swagger. The city blends modern energy with Texan tradition, giving fans more than just matches.
All in all, the poster captures Dallas’s football spirit with style and swagger. This won’t be just another host city — it’ll be a World Cup heavyweight.
Toronto (Canada)
Toronto’s poster, designed by David Murray, keeps things sharp and modern. Bold lines, cubist style, and a red-and-white-clad footballer reflect Canada’s growing confidence on the global stage.
BMO Field, home to Toronto FC, is getting a makeover to meet FIFA standards. Once renovations are complete, the stadium will seat around 45,000 fans. That makes it the heart of Canada’s World Cup campaign.
In addition, Toronto offers a multicultural vibe unlike any other. With over 140 languages spoken and neighborhoods from every continent, the city feels like the whole world in one place. From Lake Ontario views to food from every corner of the globe, there’s something for everyone.
Toronto’s poster doesn’t shout — it speaks with clarity and style. Like the city itself, it’s cool, diverse, and ready to welcome the world.
Miami (United States)
Miami’s poster screams tropical energy. Designed by Rubem Robierb, it features a flamingo balancing the globe on a football — colorful, creative, and full of flair.
Matches will be held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, a sleek venue known for major events. With a capacity of over 65,000, it’s also set to host a high-profile quarterfinal.
Meanwhile, the city offers everything from white-sand beaches to Latin-American culture on every street corner. Music, nightlife, art. Miami lives fast and plays hard. Whether you’re into football, food, or festivals, there’s never a dull moment.
All things considered, the poster captures Miami’s rhythm and movement. It’s more than a location — it’s a feeling. And when the World Cup hits town, that feeling will be pure football fever.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off on June 11 at the legendary Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, and from there, the world’s biggest football party rolls across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico.
