Doha, Qatar: A vibrant and modern branding for the FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025™ has been unveiled, ahead of the tournament's inaugural 48-team edition, set to take place in November 2025.
The new emblem creatively incorporates the prestigious trophy as negative space within the "U" of "U-17," forming a striking silhouette that symbolizes a spotlight—this is the central motif of the tournament's refreshed identity.
This engaging brand honors the FIFA U-17 World Cup's rich history while looking forward to the future of the sport. FIFA and the host nation are dedicated to showcasing emerging players, who are at the heart of this narrative.
With warm, overlapping colors radiating outward, the design reflects football's global reach, inclusivity, and energy, emphasizing the discovery and development of young talent. It serves as a beacon, encapsulating the passion and ambition of aspiring players, celebrating their journey from local fields to the international stage, and inspiring fans with the promise of future stars.
All 48 teams have already secured their place in this largest-ever edition of the prestigious youth tournament, which has been a launching pad for legends such as Luis Figo, Francesco Totti, Ronaldinho, Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Neymar, and Phil Foden.
A brand-new tournament format will unfold as Germany aims to defend the title they claimed in a thrilling fashion during the 2023 tournament in Indonesia, where they triumphed over France in a nail-biting penalty shootout.
In the months ahead, FIFA will announce additional details leading up to the FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025™, including the tournament draw scheduled for May 25, 2025, in Doha, which will be live-streamed on FIFA+.
