One World. One Goal: Zero Hunger!

This summer’s World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the United States united people worldwide through the beautiful game. Our structure reflects one world and one common goal: zero hunger. Through soccer’s universal appeal, we highlight the need to work together so everyone has access to nutritious food.

Our World Cup structure uses food cans selected for nutritious, delicious meals. The soccer ball recreates the iconic black-and-white pattern with Blue Harbor Wild Albacore Solid White Tuna in Water for white panels and Goya Black Beans for dark blue panels. It sits on a grass field of Dried Green Split Peas.

The world map backdrop uses Dole Mandarin Oranges in 100% Fruit Juice from Concentrate for oceans and Del Monte Cut Green Beans to outline continents. One can of Hunt’s Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes marks Spain, the World Cup winner. On the reverse, a Spanish flag made from Del Monte Sliced Pears and Hunt’s Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes honors Spain. Wholesome Pantry Organic Cannellini Beans and Goya Black Beans form the coat of arms. The cannellini beans also add structural stability and another nutritious food option.
