The 2026 World Cup ball unveiled: meet Trionda | OneFootball

252 days before the start of the 2026 World Cup, this Thursday FIFA officially unveiled the ball that will be used in the competition, which will be hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, and where the Argentina National Team will defend its title as world champion.

“Trionda” is the name chosen for the ball of the next World Cup, and the choice is related to the desire to convey the cultural unity of the three host countries. The term “Tri” represents the organizing nations, while “Onda” alludes to the movement of energy and cultural connection that will take place during the event.

This message will also be reflected in the four colors that decorate the ball: white, which will be the base and predominant color; red, representing Canada; green, in honor of Mexico; and blue for the United States. In addition, each of these colors features a design alluding to its respective country.

For example, the official logos of each country are distributed across the ball, in addition to the brand and the classic image of the FIFA trophy: on the green will be Mexico’s eagle; on the red, the Canadian maple leaf; and on the blue, the American stars.

This ball also features the unique characteristic of having four panels, which gives greater precision to strikes. In general, classic balls had 32 panels, although with technology this number has decreased. The Jabulani, from South Africa 2010, had four, and the Brazuca, in 2014, had six. In Qatar, however, the Al Rihla had 20.
