FIFA World Cup 2026: Complete list of match balls from 1930


The Trionda, designed by the German manufacturer Adidas, is the official match ball for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which starts on June 11.

The name ‘Trionda’ is derived from the Spanish expression meaning ‘three waves’ and symbolizes the three North American host countries of the World Cup: the US, Mexico and Canada.

The ball’s design consists of three different colors, red, green and blue with a white base, which also pays tribute to the three host countries and their national team colors: green for Mexico, red for Canada and blue for the United States.

If you take a closer look at the design, you will also see three icons: a maple leaf for Canada, an eagle for Mexico and a star for the United States.

Perhaps the most advanced detail of the match ball is the connected ball technology, which marks its second appearance after first being used in the 2022 match ball, the ‘Al Rihla’.

The technology’s 500 Hz motion sensor chip provides insight into every element of ball movement and sends real-time data to the Video Assistant Referee System (VAR), helping referees make decisions on the pitch

Adidas has been the supplier of the official World Cup balls since the 1970 tournament.
