Introducing the 'Be There With Hyundai' initiative!
Hyundai proudly continues its legacy of fostering football fans' passion and creativity with the exciting 'Be There With Hyundai' initiative for the FIFA World Cup 2026™. With this program, football enthusiasts from every corner of the globe are invited to participate in a truly inspiring experience.
From 2006 to 2018, passionate fans from across the globe submitted team slogans that appeared on official team buses at each FIFA World Cup. These slogans, brimming with pride and unity, became an integral part of the tournament's journey, inspiring players and supporters alike. Meanwhile, in 2022, the buses showcased eco-friendly pledges from supporters around the world to highlight Hyundai's commitment towards sustainability.
For 2026, Hyundai shifts the spotlight to the dreams, imagination, and artistic talents of the youngest and most spirited football enthusiasts—children. Their artwork will bring a splash of vibrancy and fresh dreams to one of the world's greatest sporting spectacles.
These captivating drawings will accompany the national players as they travel to stadiums and match venues, sharing youthful energy and creativity with millions of fans around the globe.
Each creative entry symbolizes the passion and enthusiasm of football fans for their national teams, inspiring pride and unity among players and supporters. These works of art don't just embellish the buses; they embody the spirit of the FIFA World Cup 2026™, spreading messages of hope and celebration wherever they go!
But the experience doesn't stop with seeing their art on display. Each winning artist will experience the excitement firsthand, with two very special seats reserved for the winner and one lucky guardian. The prize includes two tickets to a FIFA World Cup 2026™ group stage match, round-trip airfare, and hotel accommodations. This ‘once-in-a-lifetime experience’ combines creativity, thrills, and a long list of unforgettable memories.
