[edit]The official emblem was unveiled on 8 April 2024. According to FIFA's website:[11]
...[The] vibrant design [is] inspired by the stunning nature and colour of host nation Colombia as well as the tournament's fundamental role in forging the Future Stars of Football. Using the South American country's unique and iconic Caño Cristales river, nicknamed 'Liquid Rainbow', as the central theme of the design, the tournament emblem also features the yellow, blue and red of the Colombian flag to make it the perfect blended reflection of the tournament hosts and the competition itself.
On 23 May 2024, the tournament's mascot named "Kinti" was revealed. Shaped after a hummingbird, it was unveiled at the Botanical Garden of Medellín.[12]
