Zayu, Maple and Clutch are the FIFA World Cup mascots |
OK we all know the FIFA World Cup is about nine months away, and the football organisation has revealed not one, not two but three mascots for each of the host countries: Canada, the United States and Mexico.
The three mascots "have been thoughtfully developed to reflect the vibrant culture, heritage and spirit of their respective countries, coming together to symbolise unity, diversity and the shared passion for the beautiful game," FIFA said in a statement.
Ready for the reveal?
US' is Clutch the Bald Eagle
Mexico's is Zayu the Jaguar.
FIFA's description of the moose: "Maple the Moose was born to roam, journeying across all of Canada's provinces and territories while connecting with people and embracing the country's rich culture. A street style-loving artist, music enthusiast and dedicated goalkeeper, Maple found purpose through creativity, resilience and unapologetic individuality."
Meanwhile Clutch the Bald Eagle "possesses an unquenchable thirst for adventure, soaring across the United States and embracing every culture, game and moment with boundless curiosity and optimism. Clutch, like all great midfielders, unites people wherever they go, proving that true flight is about purpose, passion and play."

Are these animals representative of their countries? |
Some how Maple the Moose doesn't seem conjure the image of being fierce, aggressive and courageous as the bald eagle or the jaguar...
