The wait is over. FIFA and adidas have unveiled TRIONDA, the Official Match Ball of the FIFA World Cup 26, and with it, a new symbol of a tournament that will unite the world like never before.
For the first time in history, the World Cup will be shared by three nations, Canada, Mexico and the United States. TRIONDA embodies that story. Its name, meaning “three waves” in Spanish, captures the energy of the game and the flow of football across borders. It’s more than a ball, it’s a statement of unity, movement and possibility.
A design that tells a story
The ball’s vivid palette of red, green and blue mirrors the host nations’ flags, while touches of gold nod to the prize every player dreams of lifting. Symbols are carved into its surface, the maple leaf, the eagle, the star, so that every pass, every strike, every goal carries the identity of the nations bringing this World Cup to life.
At its core, the four-panel construction creates a triangle motif, a permanent reminder that this World Cup belongs to three countries, one continent, and billions of fans.
Built for the biggest stage
TRIONDA doesn’t just look the part, it’s engineered for it. The ball features
Deep seam paneling for a stable, reliable flight path.
Micro-texture detailing to enhance touch in every condition.
Connected Ball Technology, with a cutting-edge 500Hz motion sensor delivering real-time data to match officials, ensuring precision in the moments that matter most.
This is not just another match ball – it’s the most advanced World Cup ball ever created.
“The countdown is on” – Infantino
According to Global Hints, FIFA President Gianni Infantino described TRIONDA as a defining icon for a defining tournament.
“The Official Match Ball for the FIFA World Cup 26 is here, and it’s a beauty! adidas have once again created something iconic, with a design that embodies the unity and passion of our host nations. I can’t wait to see TRIONDA hitting the back of the net.
The countdown to the greatest FIFA World Cup ever is on, and the ball is rolling!”
Setting the stage for 2026
The unveiling of TRIONDA builds on a wave of milestones leading into next year’s tournament, from the launch of the Official Mascots, to FIFA’s USD 1 ticket donation pledge to the Global Citizen Education Fund, to record-breaking fan engagement with over 4.5 million entries in the Visa Presale Draw.
With crucial qualifiers still to come and the Final Draw in Washington DC on 5 December 2025, TRIONDA is the spark that ignites the final countdown.
TRIONDA is more than a match ball.
It’s a story of three nations, one tournament, and the world coming together for the game we love.
