2026 World Cup Logo Branding to Be Used For All Future World Cups?
For the first time in history, the 2026 World Cup logo incorporates an image of the coveted trophy alongside the year of the tournament. According to the press release published by FIFA, the "innovative design language anchors the FIFA World Cup™ emblem for 2026 and beyond". This probably means that every World Cup logo from 2030 will have the realistic trophy with the year behind it.
The new 2026 World Cup logo has been already customized for each host city, showing off the great potential of the logo.
According to FIFA, the fresh design language aims to capture the uniqueness of each host country while establishing a recognizable brand structure for future editions. The customization possibilities promise to infuse each logo with elements that celebrate the culture, heritage, and distinctiveness of the host nation.
Footy Headlines have taken the initiative to create concept logos for the 2030, 2034, and 2038 editions.

If the rumors turn out to be accurate, this new direction will mark a significant shift in the branding of the world's most prestigious football tournament. The move toward a consistent design language aims to create a sense of continuity and connection between each edition while allowing for individuality and cultural representation through the use of colors.
Indeed, previous World Cups already had a streamlined design scheme. This design scheme was the same for several continuous tournaments (e.g. 2014, 2018 & 2022, or 1970 until 1990), but the new logo is an even more streamlined approach.
Indeed, if FIFA would make it a reality, they would take a similar step as the NFL with the Super Bowl logo, which has been using a streamlined design in the past few years. The streamlined look was more customized in the past few years, possibly after fans' critics.
