Hyundai Motor Unveils ‘Be There With Hyundai’ Artworks Featured on National Team Bus Designs for the FIFA World Cup 2026™
SEOUL, May 26, 2026 – Hyundai Motor Company, in collaboration with FIFA, today unveiled the Official National Team Bus designs for the FIFA World Cup 2026™, featuring winning artwork from its global youth initiative, ‘Be There With Hyundai.’ The designs transform the tournament’s most visible touchpoints into a celebration of youth creativity on the world stage.
Announced in December 2025, ‘Be There With Hyundai’ invited children ages 5-12 from around the world to express their national pride and love for football (soccer) through original artwork capturing their excitement for the tournament. The contest, titled ‘The Greatest Cheer,’ encouraged young fans to visually showcase their cheering moments for their favorite national team and express what the FIFA World Cup™ represents to them.
Through 'Be There With Hyundai,' we've created a platform where children's voices and creative dreams reach the world's biggest stage. As part of our World Cup campaign 'Next Starts Now', this initiative is designed to turn the next generation’s dreams into reality by giving them a meaningful place in the tournament itself. This journey from inspiration to reality reinforces Hyundai Motor's belief that the next generation is essential to building a better, more connected future for all.

Together, these elements reflect the global nature of the tournament, transforming each vehicle into a moving symbol of youth creativity, global connection, and shared passion across nations on every journey to matches and training venues.
Each winning child, along with one accompanying guardian, will receive an exclusive invitation to attend the FIFA World Cup 2026™. The prize package includes:
Seeing their artwork displayed on the National Team Buses is more than a creative achievement - it’s a moment of belief and inspiration for these children and their families, and a reflection of what football can represent for people around the world. This initiative celebrates the power of football to connect generations and cultures, while reminding the next generation of athletes and fans that their voices, ideas and creativity have a place on the world stage.

To further celebrate the ‘Be There With Hyundai’ campaign, Hyundai Motor has released a special video featuring global ambassador Son Heung-min, aimed at raising awareness of the initiative among fans worldwide.
Since its launch at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™, ‘Be There With Hyundai’ has served as Hyundai Motor’s flagship fan engagement program. Over nearly two decades, the initiative has evolved to reflect cultural moments and changing fan expectations:
This year’s contest goes beyond fostering a sense of accomplishment and motivation among children; it reflects Hyundai Motor's "Next Starts Now" global campaign and its commitment to advancing toward a better future alongside the next generation. Through the initiative, the brand demonstrates that young voices and creative visions are vital to building a better future. It positions youth not as passive spectators, but as active contributors shaping the world they will inherit and lead tomorrow.
