Discover Trionda, the official FIFA World Cup 2026 ball, its design, technology, and how it celebrates the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
FIFA formally launched Trionda, the official match ball of the FIFA World Cup 2026, combining technological advancements with design aspects honoring the three co-host countries: the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Adidas-designed Trionda extends the long relationship between the German manufacturer and FIFA, which has provided official match balls since the 1970 tournament.
The 2026 World Cup will be the first held in three nations, with 48 teams, and this innovative format prompted the name and ball design. Trionda contains red, blue, and green colors, symbolizing the countries hosting. Symbolism for each nation has been added: maple leaves for Canada, the eagle for Mexico, and stars for the United States. A triangular motif symbolizes the unity of the three host countries, making Trionda both visually striking and meaningful.
Trionda is packed with innovations designed for peak performance. Its deep seams improve in-flight stability, while embossed icons provide superior grip in wet or humid conditions. Players can expect more control and precision, even in challenging match situations.
The most striking aspect is the integrated motion sensor chip, which monitors the movement of the ball and transmits information to the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system. It enables quicker, more precise decisions, a huge leap for technology incorporation in football.
Trionda's reveal is a milestone in anticipation of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will run from June 11 to July 19, 2026. FIFA kicked off phased online ticket sales, with more than 4.5 million fans from 216 countries entering the presale draw. The draw for the tournament will be in Washington on December 5, 2025, increasing the hype.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino showed his delight at the New York launch:
"I am proud and happy to unveil Trionda. It is a representation of innovation, technology, and the solidarity of our three host countries."
Trionda is not just a football it's a celebration of design, culture, and state-of-the-art technology, and an example of how football is changing on and off the pitch in the modern era.
From its fearless design honoring three countries to its intelligent technology for players and officials, Trionda guarantees to be at the heart of every intense moment in the 2026 World Cup. People around the globe are looking forward to the tournament, eager to witness this new ball in action.
