FIFA has officially presented the match ball for the 2026 World Cup, a high-tech creation named Trionda, designed by German sportswear giant Adidas.

The unveiling took place in New York on Thursday.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino described the ball as a symbol of pride and unity, celebrating the tournament’s three host nations — the United States, Mexico and Canada.

The design incorporates the colors red, blue and green, along with national icons from each country: maple leaves for Canada, the eagle for Mexico, and stars for the United States. A triangular motif represents the unity of the co-hosts.

Beyond its design, Trionda boasts advanced technology. Its deep seams are engineered for improved flight stability, while embossed icons enhance grip in humid conditions. A built-in motion sensor chip will track the ball’s movements and provide data to the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system.

The 2026 World Cup, the first to be jointly hosted by three countries, will also be the biggest yet, featuring 48 teams. The tournament runs from June 11 to July 19, 2026.

FIFA has already begun phased online ticket sales, with more than 4.5 million fans from 216 countries and territories entering the presale draw. The official tournament draw is scheduled for December 5 in Washington, D.C.
