Adidas Trionda Is the 2026 FIFA World Cup's Official Match Ball

A concerted bid from Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup was made back in 2017. The tournament is now just nine months away, leading the North American trio to speed up all prep work to ensure the biggest stage for "the beautiful game" is ready to see young and old stars alike battle it out for sport's arguably most important achievement.

Official sponsors for the World Cup are also fast at work with their new product launches and campaign materials. Adidas, the event's official match ball manufacturer, is expected to unveil its latest proposal soon: the Trionda.

When dissected, "Trionda" draws inspiration from the fact that three ("tri") countries will host all FIFA World Cup 26™ matches. "Onda" translates from Spanish to mean "wave," a callout to the Adidas match ball's curved lives.

The Trionda bears resemblance to the Adidas Brazuca used throughout the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The impending match ball, however, only features four panels.

A white base sets the stage for hits of red, blue, and green, colors that've been chosen to represent each of the tournament's host countries: Maple leaves appear throughout ruby-colored areas as a nod to Canada, while stars gotten from the U.S. flag accompany blue-colored regions. Finally, a green eagle figure honors Mexico.

FIFA World Cup 26™ and Adidas' performance logos join the mix throughout the sphere. Akin to the UEFA Champions League 25/26 Ball, the Pro edition of the Trionda includes the aforementioned symbols as raised motifs all across its surface, adding a luxe touch to the product.

Stay tuned for firm Adidas.com release details and official product shots of the 2026 World Cup Match Ball. As was the case with Mexico's 2026 World Cup Jerseys, changes may be made prior to the tournament's start on June 11, 2026.

The Trionda Pro is expected to retail for $170. A launch date is anticipated to take place between October and December.
