Known as “the common man’s philosopher”, Juha™ embodies traditional Arab folklore

Doha, Qatar: The FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025 Local Organising Committee (LOC) has unveiled Juha as the official mascot for the prestigious Arab competition taking place from December 1-18 in Qatar.  

Inspired by arguably the most popular character from the history of Arab literature, Juha embodies the rich folkloric traditions of the region. Often depicted as a clumsy and slow-witted man who finds himself in humorous situations due to his strange antics,

Juha’s tales, wildly popular across generations in the Arab world, always ends up in a revelation of profound wisdom.

The beloved folklore hero will come to life, joining in the festivities of the FIFA Arab Cup, that will once again unite Arab fans for a unique celebration of the region’s vibrant culture and shared passion for football.
