FIFA 2026 World Cup ball presented by adidas
Sports group adidas has presented the official match ball for the FIFA 2026 World Cup, which will take place in Canada, Mexico and the US in June and July next year.
Adidas has called the ball the Trionda, to reflect that the competition will, for the first time, have three host countries.
Construction consists of four panels with “intentionally deep seams and strategically placed debossed lines”, alongside embossed icons of the host nations. Adidas has said this creates a surface that produces “optimal in-flight stability” thanks to having “evenly distributed drag” as the ball travels through the air.
The embossed icons also provide, as added performance benefits, elevated grip on the ball when dribbling or striking it in wet or humid conditions.
