The Official Emblem and Slogan of the FIFA U-20 World Cup Korea Republic 2017 were unveiled during a festive event at KT Square in Seoul.
Among those present were Chung Monggyu, president of the Korea Football Association (KFA) and chairman of the Korea Republic 2017 Local Organising Committee (LOC), Kwak Youngjin, executive vice-chairman of the LOC, Cha Bumkun, vice-chairman of the LOC, An Iksoo, coach of the Korea Republic national U-20 team, and Ahn Junghwan, ambassador of the FIFA U-20 World Cup Korea Republic 2017, as well as Thierry Weil, FIFA Director of Marketing.
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 colours depict the vibrancy of youth. The design tells a story, which culminates in a stylised 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.
