With just over a year to go before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Mexico City officially unveiled its representative poster, as part of the visual image that will accompany the tournament in each host city.
This illustration is part of FIFA’ s global campaign to highlight the cultural heritage of each World Cup venue, and was enthusiastically unveiled by authorities and fans alike.
History, art and passion
This World Cup 2026 poster was created by the artist Mario Cortés, known as Cuemanche.
He is a graduate of the Faculty of Arts and Design of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
The poster is dominated by the colors orange, green and purple, and depicts emblematic elements of the Mexican capital.
Such as the Palace of Fine Arts, the Angel of Independence, the Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl volcanoes, as well as urban icons such as public transportation.
In the center of the poster is the Mexico City Stadium, the name that the Azteca Stadium will adopt during the tournament, in compliance with FIFA’s commercial regulations.
The stadium will become the only stadium in history to host three World Cup openings (1970, 1986 and 2026).
In this way, it reaffirms its place as a temple of world soccer.
Positive feedback
Prior to the official presentation, the tournament organizers took this 2026 World Cup poster to the streets of the city to gauge the reaction of the citizens.
The opinions collected by local media were mostly positive, with comments highlighting the visual identity and the integrated cultural elements.
