Clutch is the official United States mascot for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, representing the host nation as a fearless, uplifting bald eagle in a blue midfielder kit. His name celebrates the ability to excel under pressure, making him the centerpiece of American soccer pride.

Clutch’s backstory and involvement in the World Cup include:

- The Pitch: As an anthropomorphic midfielder, he acts as the social spark and sports fanatic who rallies teammates and unites fans across borders.

- Real-World Impact: He famously made global headlines when Peruvian police dressed up as Clutch and his co-mascot, Maple the Moose, to conduct a highly successful undercover drug raid in Lima.
