The FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup Papua New Guinea 2016 Emblem and Slogan was revealed last night at the Laguna hotel in Port Moresby.
This key visual asset of the Women’s U20 FIFA World Cup to be held on PNG soil was unveiled as a key milestone on the road to the November Women’s U20 FIFA World Cup, and one that the host country is extremely proud to share with the world.
The emblem blends unique attributes of the FIFA World Cup and of Papua New Guinea as host nation. The creative inspiration for the emblem was drawn from both PNG’s geographical regions and its heritage.
Speaking at the event, Prime Minister, Peter O’Neill said, "Hosting the World Cup is a dream come true for sports in PNG.”
“We've tried to capture that picture of the event in the Official Emblem. The World Cup will change our country and will present a new, modern PNG to the whole world,” O’Neill said.
“I'm sure that staging an event of this magnitude will be something that will linger in the hearts of the people of PNG, and in the hearts of fans right around the world.”
The Official Emblem, which will now become the visual heart of the 2016 Women’s U20 FIFA World Cup Papua New Guinea will soon be supported by further event brand assets including the Official Slogan “To Inspire, To Excel”, and also the official Mascot, which is due to be presented soon.
