Tazuni serving as 2023 Ladies’s Global Cup mascot – NBC New York

“Tazuni stands for everything which makes the Women’s World Cup unique, and her story will resonate with millions of young fans around the world,” FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura said when Tazuni was first introduced in October 2022.

As for Tazuni’s species, she is based on the “Eudyptula minor” penguin endemic to Australia and New Zealand. Her blue tuft of hair helps her stand out and even matches the color of an American soccer legend:

FIFA debuted a video recalling how Tazuni fell in love with soccer. After falling into the sea, Tazuni sees a ball floating on the surface. She joins a group of girls playing the game on the beach, and the girls give her a personalized kit that she then sports at a nearby stadium.

Tazuni is now 15 years old and plays midfield.
