World Lacrosse has revealed the logo for the upcoming 2025 World Lacrosse U20 Men’s Championship set to take place from 15-25 August on Jeju Island, Korea.
Featuring the taegeuk and the trigrams - Geon, Don, Gam, and Ri - based on the national flag of the Republic of Korea, the design incorporates many of Korea’s traditional symbols.
The taegeuk is the half blue and half red circle in the centre of Korea’s flag and symbolises harmony and balance while the trigrams are the series of black rectangles that surround the taegeuk.
Each trigram represents an element of nature - sky, Earth, water, fire - and they embody Korea’s aspiration to bring its lacrosse spirit to the global stage.
The blue background of the logo is inspired by the ocean that surrounds Jeju Island off the south coast of Korea.
Korea is hosting a World Lacrosse championship for the first time in its history, having been a World Lacrosse member since 1995 and helping to found the Asia-Pacific Lacrosse Union in 2004.
England will head to Korea in August off the back of a second-placed finish at last year’s 2024 ELF Men’s U20 Championship in Wroclaw, Poland with a final squad set to be announced in due course.
