FIFA World Cup 26 Launches TRIONDA, Official Match Ball

The countdown to FIFA World Cup 26 has entered an exciting new phase with the official launch of TRIONDA, the tournament’s match ball, crafted by adidas. This edition marks a historic first, as three countries – Canada, Mexico, and the United States – join forces to host the global spectacle, a theme at the heart of TRIONDA’s design.

Design Inspired by Unity

TRIONDA, translating to “three waves” in Spanish, carries a bold red, green, and blue color palette, honoring the host nations. Its innovative four-panel construction with fluid geometry forms a triangle at the center, symbolizing the historic collaboration of the three hosts. The design blends aesthetics and meaning, reflecting both the spirit of the sport and the cultural diversity of North America.

Performance Meets Innovation

Beyond its striking appearance, TRIONDA introduces several performance upgrades. The deep-seam four-panel structure ensures improved flight stability and consistent drag, making passes and shots more predictable. Additionally, embossed icons enhance grip for players, even in humid or wet conditions.

Adidas continues its use of connected ball technology, embedding a 500Hz motion sensor chip that tracks the ball in real time. This data feeds directly into the video assistant referee system, assisting officials in precise decision-making for offside and other key moments.

A Step Forward for the Game

The TRIONDA represents not just a ball, but a fusion of technology, design, and global collaboration. As the world eagerly anticipates the kickoff, this ball is poised to become another iconic symbol of FIFA World Cup history.
