A total of 18 referees, 36 assistant and 4 support referees were appointed officially by FIFA for the tournament on 19 June 2024.[11] Originally, Susanne Küng (Switzerland) and Andreia Ferreira (Portugal) were selected for the tournament, and latter replaced by hers compatriots Linda Schmid and Vanessa Gomes respectively.

The official emblem was unveiled on 8 April 2024. According to FIFA's website:[13]

...[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.

The tournament's mascot is named "Kinti". The mascot represents the biodiversity of the country and shaped after a hummingbird. Kinti was unveiled on May 23 2024 at the Botanical Garden of Medellín.[14]
