Inspired by Vancouver's natural elements and Indigenous culture in British Columbia, Canada, the city has revealed it's Official FIFA World Cup 26™ Host City Poster, designed by BC artist Jamin Zuroski, capturing Vancouver's connection to nature and the spirit of the beautiful game.

This is the first time a FIFA World Cup™ has introduced official Host City-specific posters – an exciting initiative that highlights the unique culture and energy of each participating host city. The FIFA World Cup 26™ Vancouver Host Committee celebrated by revealing a large, semi-permanent decal of the poster at BC Place Vancouver, on a window facing Terry Fox Plaza.  

‍In August of 2024, the Host Committee offered an exciting opportunity for BC artists, inviting them to either submit a poster design or portfolio for a chance to represent Vancouver on the global stage. The finalist was awarded $25,000 CAD, while the four runners-up each received $1,500 CAD in recognition of their work. The contest, which ran from 26 August to 27 September, garnered 187 expressions of interest and resulted in 57 submissions—51 poster designs and six portfolios.

‍A panel, including representatives from the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, BC Pavilion Corporation, the Province of BC's Ministry of Arts, Tourism, Culture and Sport, Destination BC, the Host Committee, and a local artist, selected the top five designs, including the winner.

‍Vancouver's poster is one of 16 posters being unveiled across host cities on FIFA's Official Host City Posters page and can also purchase with pre-orders available on FIFA's registration page.  

FIFA World Cup™ unites billions of people around the world. In 2026, Vancouver will have the opportunity to highlight this amazing city, share the city's unique diversity and show the world their inclusive Team Vancouver spirit.
