FIFA has presented Trionda, the official ball of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
The ball’s design features red, blue and green — colors symbolizing the host countries.
The official ball, developed by Adidas, continues the tradition of innovation. Its construction, featuring four panels with deep seams, creates a surface that ensures optimal stability in flight. In addition, the embossed icons improve grip when kicking or dribbling the ball on a wet pitch.
Previously, FIFA unveiled the championship’s mascots: Maple the Moose representing Canada, Zayu the Jaguar for Mexico, and Clutch the Bald Eagle for the U.S.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19. It will be the first edition in which 48 national teams compete, representing six confederations.
The participation quotas are as follows: 16 for Europe, 9.5 for Africa, 8.5 for Asia, 6.5 each for CONMEBOL and CONCACAF, and 1.5 for Oceania. The decimals indicate spots allocated through intercontinental playoffs.
As of today, 18 participants are confirmed: Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Jordan, Iran, Canada, Colombia, Morocco, Mexico, New Zealand, Paraguay, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, Uruguay, the U.S., Ecuador, South Korea and Japan.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup draw is scheduled for Dec. 5, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
