2006 World Cup in Germany. The mascots introduced by the host are a pair, they are a cute lion named Golio VI, and his good partner is a talking football named Fili. They talked about everything and were intimate, bringing wonderful and unforgettable moments to the 2006 World Cup in Germany. The 2010 World Cup came to the African continent for the first time. The mascot of this World Cup was a cute yellow leopard named Zakumi. In some languages ??of southern Africa, Zakumi also means welcome. The designer ingeniously replaced the pattern of the leopard with the pentagon of the football. FIFA Secretary General Valcke said Zakumi represents the people, geography and spirit of South Africa while also bringing joy to people.
For the 2014 Brazil World Cup, their mascot was an armadillo, also known as the armored rat. Its name is translated as Fulai Ge. The armadillo is an endangered species that lives in the interior of Brazil. When it feels threatened by the outside, it will huddle up and use its carapace to protect itself. The shape looks very similar to a football. The host country, Brazil, hopes to take this opportunity to call on the world to protect wild animals, which also makes Fulai Ge's arrival even more extraordinary.
The 2018 World Cup came to Russia. Just when the outside world thought that Russia would still use the familiar brown bear as its mascot, the organizing committee used voting to decide the mascot. In the end, little wolf Zabivaka was elected with 53% of the vote, defeating the other two mascots based on tigers and cats.
The final mascot for the 2022 Qatar World Cup has also been announced. What is even more surprising is that this time the mascot is neither an animal nor a character, nor an elf, but a traditional Arab headscarf. Its name is Laeeb, an Arabic word meaning skilled player. According to reports, this mascot comes from the magical product of the parallel universe. I believe that the lively and cute mascot can’t wait to take us to the wonderful World Cup stadium.
