All World Cup mascots

He is dressed in a shirt in the colors of the British flag with the inscription “WORLD CUP” (World Cup).
Juanito 1970 (Mexico) – The character wears a national hat and national team attire. His name is short for the name Juan, popular in Hispanic countries. During the World Cup, local children dressed up like that, that's why the streets were filled with live mascots.

Pique 1986 (Mexico) – Mexico hosted the Cup again and presented an edible mascot – a chili pepper. Her name comes from the word “spicy”, related to this spice. Pique pepper continued the tradition of using fruits and vegetables as symbols of the World Cup.
Ciao 1990 (Italy) – The best known Italian word was chosen for name. Italy did not keep the tradition of choosing a “cute” mascot. Ciao represents a human figure in the colors of the Italian flag and a soccer ball as its head.
Striker 1994 (USA) – The mascot was created by the giant Disney. For the first time, the mascot is accompanied by a major advertising campaign, promotional videos and even cartoons are filmed. He is dressed in a costume in the colors of the US flag and the inscription “USA 94”.
Footix 1998 (France) – The Gallic rooster is the symbol of France. Footix, created by French designer Fabrice Pialot, has become the most successful mascot in the history of football. In the 1998 World Cup, the victory fell to the French national team.

Ato, Kaz and Nik 2002 (South Korea and Japan) – The first mascots of the new century and new technologies.

Goleo VI and the Pille ball 2006 (Germany) – For the first time in the tournament's history, the final took place without the mascot, as the manufacturing company went bankrupt before the start of the Cup. The mascot's name contains the words “gol” and “leo” (lion), while Pille derives from the popular name for football in the German language. The lion wears the national team's costume number 06.
Zakumi 2010 (South Africa) – The name Zakumi derives from ZA (South Africa's international acronym) and “kumi”, which means “ten” in some African languages.
