Another scandal. FIFA releases new World Cup poster, now even more provocative...

Fans of the Portuguese star believe this is a blatant show of disrespect toward their idol.

Details: After FIFA was forced to remove the 2026 World Cup poster yesterday—due to the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and a flood of criticism from his fans on FIFA's official page on X—a new poster was unveiled. This time, Ronaldo is featured, but there's a catch.

The new poster, alongside Ronaldo, also shows Leo Messi holding the World Cup trophy and Argentina's decisive strike in the final. In addition, Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri, who knocked Portugal out of the last World Cup and shattered Ronaldo's trophy dreams, is also depicted.

Supporters once again labeled the poster as provocative and disrespectful to the 40-year-old Portuguese legend, but this time FIFA's page moderators did not take it down but simply added that these were just souvenirs from the last world championship, not a poster for the next one..

Recall: FIFA removed the first official poster because of Ronaldo fans. What happened?
