Cup. It wasn\u2019t until England hosted the tournament in 1966 that a mascot was bought in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, they\u2019ve been ever-present since and some have become very popular. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the mascots since then.<\/p>\n<h2>W. Cup Willie, England 1966<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">W. Cup Willie was the first ever mascot at a W. Cup and he was a lion wearing a Union Jack jersey. He was a major success and a trailblazer for what was to follow when it came to W. Cup mascots. He was designed by children&#8217;s book illustrator Reg Hoye and was eventually turned into a comic strip character.<\/p>\n<h2>Juanito, Mexico 1970<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Juanito, meaning &#8220;Little John&#8221;, was the Mexican mascot from 1970 and wore a sombrero and a green shirt. He was the first mascot for the first W. Cup that was produced in colour.<\/p>\n<h2>Tip and Tap, West Germany 1974<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tip and Tap were Germany&#8217;s mascots in 1974. They were two boys kitted out in the German national team&#8217;s kit, with one emblazoned with the letters WM (Weltmeisterschaft, German for W. Cup), and the other with the number 74. They were said to be a pair to display togetherness and friendship.<\/p>\n<h2>Gauchito, Argentina 1978<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Argentina followed Mexico and Germany&#8217;s record of having young boys as their mascots. Gauchito was the official mascot in 1978 and wore the iconic blue and white Argentina shirt. He also had a neckerchief and Argentina &#8217;78 on the front of his hat.<\/p>\n<h2>Naranjito, Spain 1982<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Naranjito was very different to anything that had come before him and he was in fact an orange, wearing the Spanish national team&#8217;s kit. He carried a football and his name translates to &#8220;Little Orange&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2>Pique, Mexico 1986<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mexico&#8217;s second FIFA W. Cup mascot continued with the food theme and Pique was a jalapeno pepper, who wore a giant sombrero. He also sported a traditional Mexican moustache.<\/p>\n<h2>Ciao, Italy 1990<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Italy 1990 saw a totally new design for mascots, unlike anything that had ever been seen before. Ciao was more of a modern structure, with a football as a head. It&#8217;s the only mascot to not have a face and his blocks are in the green, white and red of the Italian tricolore.<\/p>\n<h2>Stryker, the W. Cup Pup, USA 1994<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another first happened in 1994, when the USA allowed the public to vote for what would be the tournament&#8217;s mascot. Stryker won the vote and he was a dog wearing the national kit, with the W. Cup logo displayed on the front.<\/p>\n<h2>Footix, France 1998<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the first time since 1966, a mascot was chosen that would be a recognised national emblem in the shape of a traditional French cockerel. He&#8217;s one of the more colourful mascots and had a bright blue body, red hard and yellow beak.<\/p>\n<h2>Ato, Kaz and Nik, South Korea and Japan 2002<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Known collectively as The Spheriks, Ato, Kaz and Nik were the first mascots of the new millennium and were orange, purple and blue. They were the first computer-generated mascots and were members of a team of &#8220;Atmoball&#8221;, which is a fictional football-like sport. Ato, the orange mascot, is the coach, while Kaz and Nik were the players. The names were decided by internet users and McDonald&#8217;s customers in Japan and South Korea.<\/p>\n<h2>Goleo VI and Pille, Germany 2006<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Goleo VI and Pille were voted as the favourite W. Cup mascots from the last 20 years. After the computer-generated trio in 2002, the 2006 pair were more traditional. Goleo was a lion in a Germany shirt, while Pille was his football.<\/p>\n<h2>Zakumi, South Africa 2010<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zakumi was one of the most memorable mascots in W. Cup history and was ever-present across South Africa. He was a leopard, who dyed his hair to camouflage himself from the green of the pitch. His name came from the &#8220;ZA&#8221;, for South Africa, and &#8220;kumi&#8221;, which means &#8220;ten&#8221; in various African languages.<\/p>\n<h2>Fuleco, Brazil 2014<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fuleco was the Brazilian-native three-banded armadillo, which is classified as a vulnerable species. He wore a white t-shirt with the W. Cup logo on it, while he had a shell that represented the natural beauty of Brazil. The blue tones on his head signified the sky and clear waters, along with the wildlife that belongs in the South American country.<\/p>\n<h2>Zabivaka, Russia 2018<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This year&#8217;s W. Cup mascot is Zabivaka, which means &#8220;The Goalscorer&#8221; in Russian. The name was chosen after a lengthy and engaging process. Over one million Russians voted on the FIFA website over a month, while he was eventually revealed during a live show on television.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DominicTrant\">Words by @dominictrant<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The concept of having a mascot for a sporting event seems common now, but that wasn\u2019t always the case with the W.
