Official Host City Poster

Toronto’s FIFA World Cup 2026™ Host City poster by Toronto-based illustrator Dave Murray is now available for purchase.

A poster design with a larger-than-life player in motion, proudly wearing a red maple leaf. The grid background represents the lines on a soccer pitch, as well as Toronto’s streets and the idea of a quilt to reflect the collection of wonderful and vibrant people and neighbourhoods that come together to make us “the world in a city.” Additional nods to the city include Toronto’s iconic shoreline forming the edge of the “pitch,” the blue colour palette of Toronto’s flag and positioning the soccer ball over Toronto Stadium.

The dynamic and visually striking design will represent Toronto on the global stage, capturing the energy and passion that define both the city and the world’s most popular sporting event. This is the first time that a FIFA World Cup™ has included posters specific to each Host City.

Known for his bold colours, dynamic motion and sharp geometry, Murray’s style blends modern influences with cubism, deco and futurism.
