Two talented young artists from Cyprus have earned international recognition after being selected as winners of the “Be There With Hyundai” children’s art competition, an initiative organized by Hyundai in collaboration with FIFA ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
The competition invited children from around the world to express their passion for football and their vision of the FIFA World Cup through art. Thousands of entries were submitted globally, showcasing the creativity, imagination, and enthusiasm of young fans eager to be part of football’s biggest celebration.
Among the selected winners are two children from Cyprus, whose artworks stood out for their originality and creativity. Τheir designs are featured on the official team buses during the FIFA World Cup 2026™, while they also have the opportunity to experience the tournament firsthand, turning a childhood dream into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
As part of their prize, each winner and one legal guardian receive round-trip flights, three nights of accommodation, and two match tickets to watch their national team live in action during the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
The “Be There With Hyundai” program reflects Hyundai’s commitment to connecting young fans with the spirit of the FIFA World Cup and creating memorable experiences that transcend borders. Through this initiative, children from different countries and cultures are brought together by their shared love for football, creativity, and self-expression.
The campaign is further supported by Hyundai’s global ambassador, Sonny, who helps inspire the next generation of fans to engage with the excitement and values of the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
As the FIFA World Cup 2026™ unfolds, these two young artists not only see their artwork featured on the world stage but also experience football’s greatest celebration in person.
Charalambos Papacharalambous, Brand Manager of Hyundai Cyprus, stated: “We are immensely proud that two young participants from Cyprus have been distinguished in such a prestigious international initiative. Their achievement is a testament to the fact that creativity and talent transcend borders. We are particularly pleased that Hyundai is able to provide young people with opportunities to participate in such exceptional and enriching experiences.”
