The official emblem was unveiled on 8 April 2024. The vibrant design is inspired by the stunning nature and colour of host nation Colombia as well as the tournament's fundamental role in forging the Future Stars of Football.

Using the South American country's unique and iconic Caño Cristales river, nicknamed 'Liquid Rainbow', as the central theme of the design, the tournament emblem also features the yellow, blue and red of the Colombian flag to make it the perfect blended reflection of the tournament hosts and the competition itself.
