The official slogan and emblem for the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup South Korea were both unveiled in Seoul on Thursday.
The official emblem of the FIFA U-20 World Cup Korea Republic 2017 is a celebration of the fusion of traditional Korean culture and the positive uplifting nature of the U-20 tournament. Bright and vivid colors depict the vibrancy of youth.
The design tells a story, which culminates in a stylized celebratory figure surrounded by traditional pattern and markings, derived from a range of key Korean cultural aspects, such as dancheong paintwork and traditional gardens. These elements unite to form the iconic silhouette of the FIFA U-20 World Cup trophy.
The official slogan for the tournament "Trigger the Fever" was selected from around 900 entries following an online poll and expert review process. The chosen wording is aimed at stirring up the passion of all participants, from fans to players. From the host nation's perspective, the phrase serves as a statement of intent as they seek to rekindle the enthusiastic atmosphere that swept across the nation during the 2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan.
The U-20 World Cup will be played from May 20 to June 11, 2017, in Cheonan, Daejeon, Incheon, Jeju, Jeonju and Suwon. The draw of the 24-nation tournament is slated for March 11, 2017.
South Korea is the third country, along with Mexico and Japan, to have hosted all major FIFA men's tournaments, with the 2001 Confederations Cup, the 2002 World Cup and the 2007 U-17 World Cup.
