Tazuni: The World Cup mascot is a football-loving penguin

Tazuni, a fun, football-loving penguin is the Official Mascot of the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023. You can watch her story above!

Streetwise and confident, Tazuni stands out from the crowd thanks to her blue tuft of hair. Her name is a mix of 'Tasman Sea' – which she calls home – and ‘unity’, something we all want to celebrate.

She is based on the ‘Eudyptula minor’ species endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. Tazuni is the perfect representative of the host region and will help to bring the excitement of the anticipated tournament to all the boys and girls watching their teams.
