FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Logo Revealed
Sep 3, 2019, by Chris
The Official Emblem of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Logo was jus unveiled today. Below is the official press release.
"FIFA and host country Qatar reached another major milestone on the road to the world’s greatest football showpiece.
The official unveiling took place in Qatar’s capital, Doha, at 20:22 local time (19:22 CET), with thousands of spectators witnessing the synchronised projection of the emblem onto a number of the country’s most iconic buildings, including Burj Doha.
FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Logo
The emblem’s design embodies the vision of an event that connects and engages the entire world, while also featuring striking elements of local and regional Arab culture and allusions to the beautiful game.
The swooping curves of the emblem represent the undulations of desert dunes and the unbroken loop depicts both the number eight – a reminder of the eight astonishing stadiums that will host matches – and the infinity symbol, reflecting the interconnected nature of the event. Besides echoing the shape of the iconic FIFA World Cup Trophy, the emblem’s central form takes inspiration from a traditional woollen shawl. During winter months, shawls are worn around the world and in the Arab and Gulf region in particular by a variety of people and in various styles.
The intricate embroidered detail that often adorns shawls in the Arab world is featured and takes inspiration from various cultures across Asia, celebrating the continent’s second hosting of a FIFA World Cup tournament and Qatar’s diverse population. The regionally inspired winter garment also alludes to the tournament’s start dates and the fact that it will be the first FIFA World Cup to be played in November and December.
The new typeface created to accompany the emblem reimagines traditional Arabic calligraphy in a new, contemporary font, taking inspiration from the region and Asia, and fusing tradition with modernity.
The emblem is just one example of the bold, modern tournament designs that will be revealed in the run-up to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. The striking Al Janoub Stadium – modelled after the traditional dhow boat used in the region and the second venue to be ready – hosted its first match in May this year and demonstrates the host country’s grand vision to create iconic designs. The remaining six venues are scheduled to be completed before the end of 2020, including the spectacular fanar lantern‑inspired Lusail Stadium, which will host the opening match on 21 November, as well as the final on 18 December 2022."

Oldham Athletic 26-27 Third Kit Released - 60th Anniversary Throwback
Oldham Athletic and Puma have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Celebrating a notable anniversary in Latics history, the shirt marks exactly 60 years to the day since Oldham first took to the pitch in tangerine on August 20, 1966.
The Puma Oldham Athletic 26-27 third jersey is predominantly tangerine orange, complemented by clean blue and white detailing. The design features a buttoned henley collar with white and blue trim, matching two-tone ribbed sleeve cuffs, and white side panels. A blue owl crest sits on the chest alongside a white Puma Cat logo and the white Bunkabin sponsor.
Blue shorts and tangerine socks complete the look of the new Oldham Athletic 26-27 third strip. Constructed using Puma dryCELL moisture-wicking technology and RE:FIBRE recycled materials, the kit is now available through the club's official channels.
Moneni Pirates 26-27 Home, Away & Third Kits Released
Eswatini Premier League side Moneni Pirates have unveiled their new kit collection for the 26-27 season, crafted in collaboration with kit manufacturer Umbro. The new collection highlights the club's distinctive pirate identity with bold, aggressive graphical treatments.
All three jerseys feature a prominent skull graphic illustrated across the lower front of the torso. The home shirt comes in a dark charcoal and black base with white and subtle red details, while the away version opts for a clean white design with tonal skull artwork. Completing the set, the third kit features a striking bright red base paired with bold white graphics and black trim.
Each jersey is rounded off with Umbro branding on the chest, the club's skull-and-crossbones badge, and the sponsor logo across the center.
AS Roma Become First Club to Wear Every Squad Number From 1 to 99
AS Roma have achieved a unique piece of football history by becoming the first club to have every squad number from 1 to 99 worn at least once. The rare milestone was unlocked following the arrival of 19-year-old Portuguese attacking midfielder Rodrigo Mora from FC Porto, who chose the previously untouched number 86 shirt. Big thanks to @asromainside.
Italian football has long been known for its relaxed shirt numbering rules compared to leagues with strict regulations like La Liga, allowing players in Serie A to freely select high and unconventional digits. Over the decades, Roma squads have paired timeless classics like Francesco Totti's number 10 and Daniele De Rossi's 16 with distinctive high numbers such as Stephan El Shaarawy's 92, Romelu Lukaku's 90, and Mile Svilar's 99.
With number 86 standing as the final missing piece of the puzzle, Mora's selection officially completes the entire 1 to 99 roster. A graphic celebrating the achievement visualizes all 99 shirts alongside notable Giallorossi players who have carried each number onto the pitch throughout the club's history.
