The FIFA World Cup Sweden 1958 logo shows a large blue-and-yellow “VM” monogram, a black footballer silhouette, a football above the letters and the text “Sverige Juni 1958.” A gold base below the initials reads “Coupe Jules Rimet,” with “fotboll” written underneath.
“VM” stands for “världsmästerskap,” the Swedish term for world championship, while “Sverige” means Sweden and “fotboll” means football. The blue and yellow colours connect the emblem to the Swedish flag, making the host nation central to the design.
The reference to the Coupe Jules Rimet points to the original World Cup trophy, used before the current FIFA World Cup Trophy was introduced in 1974. The wording reflects the tournament’s older official identity as the Jules Rimet Cup.
Sweden 1958 was played from 8 to 29 June 1958 and remains the only World Cup hosted in a Nordic country. Brazil won the tournament, defeating Sweden 5–2 in the final at Råsunda Stadium.
