Mascot
The official mascot of this World Cup is The Top Top Girl.  This means ball in Azerbaijani.  It is a young girl with the national flag painted on her cheeks. The body is blue, red, green and white like the host's national team. Her brown hair in a ponytail is meant to look like a buta.  This is a curving decorative motif widely used in Azerbaijani art.
