The TRIONDA is the official match ball of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

TRIONDA, which can be translated from Spanish as "three waves," highlights the moment when three nations - Canada, Mexico, and the United States - come together for the first time to host the FIFA World Cup. The name, along with other distinctive and innovative design elements, celebrates this unity.

The ball's design incorporates bold red, green, and blue tones that honor the three host nations. Its innovative four-panel structure, shaped with fluid geometry, echoes the wave motif behind its name. At the center, the panels converge to create a triangle - symbolizing the partnership of the three countries hosting the tournament.

The ball is adorned with icons representing each host country: Canada's maple leaf, Mexico's eagle, and the United States' star. Gold accents further honor the FIFA World Cup Trophy, emphasizing the importance of the tournament's global stage.

TRIONDA introduces several cutting-edge performance features. Its four-panel design, with deep seams, ensures optimal in-flight stability by creating consistent and balanced drag as the ball moves through the air.

Embossed icons, visible only up close, enhance grip when dribbling or striking in wet or humid conditions.

The ball also integrates connected ball technology, featuring a high-tech 500Hz motion sensor chip that tracks every movement in real time. This data is sent directly to the video assistant referee (VAR) system, providing precise insights to assist officials in making critical decisions, including offside calls.
