Qatar Airways has introduced a new FIFA World Cup 2026 special livery on a Boeing 777, believed to be a 777-300ER, underscoring its role as Official Airline of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The aircraft features an exterior design carrying the branding and colors of the 2026 tournament, which will be hosted in the United States, Canada and Mexico with an expanded 48‑team format. The cabin receives a dedicated dressing, including customized headrest covers, textiles and signage inspired by the World Cup, applied specifically for this campaign.
The unveiling is tied to a “One Year to Go” campaign built around the symbolic journey of the FIFA World Cup trophy from Lusail, Qatar, to New York. A promotional video stages this transfer with the participation of former international players Roberto Baggio and Romário.
This new livery continues Qatar Airways’ strategy of using its Boeing 777-300ER fleet as a high-visibility platform for major sporting events, following previous special schemes for the FIFA World Cup 2022 and its global partnership with Formula 1. The aircraft also serves as a showcase for Qatar Airways Holidays’ official travel packages for the 2026 World Cup, which combine flights, accommodation and match tickets, to be rolled out progressively ahead of the tournament.
