The mascot of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil is based on the Brazilian three-banded armadillo, a species endemic to the interior of Brazil. The armadillo, which is endemic to Brazil, shrinks into a ball when it feels threatened from outside and protects itself with its armor, which is similar to a soccer ball. FIFA and the World Cup Organizing Committee chose the mascot to emphasize the importance of environmental and ecological protection, and also considered that the image would be easily accepted by children and young people around the world. China Yingli Group, which is committed to green energy, is the only Chinese company among the sponsors of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. By launching the "Under the Same Sun" mascot campaign, Yingli has taken the theme that sunshine knows no boundaries and brings energy to the world through its participation in the World Cup, which is a global sports event, and conveyed the message of valuing the environment and protecting the ecosystem. By participating in the soccer World Cup, a global sporting event, the mascot is conveying to the world the concept of valuing the environment and protecting the ecology. But despite being the World Cup mascot, the real living environment of "Foley's brother" is worrying, and the animal has been listed as an endangered species.
