FIFA unveils TRIONDA: Official Match Ball for the 2026 World Cup

Trionda, featuring a new four-panel design and advanced technology, honors the USA, Canada, and Mexico as hosts of the largest 48-team World Cup, FIFA said.

  • At the FIFA Council meeting in Zurich on October 2, 2025, President Gianni Infantino introduced Trionda, the designated match ball for the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
  • Adidas designed TRIONDA to honor the three host nations—Canada, Mexico, and the United States—and the tournament will feature an expanded 48-team format.
  • The ball features a novel four-panel design with embossed grip patterns, incorporates a motion sensor operating at 500Hz to support VAR by delivering real-time data, and is adorned with gold accents that honor the FIFA World Cup Trophy.
  • Over 4.5 million people representing 216 countries entered a ticket lottery for the 104 matches held at 16 venues across the U.S., with approximately 7.1 million seats available in total, though the exact number of tickets offered to the public remains unclear.
  • The tournament begins June 11, 2026, opening at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, with knockout stages following group play, reflecting the format of recent World Cups but with more teams and matches.
