Adidas unveils the Trionda, the 15th consecutive match ball the company has supplied for the FIFA World Cup

Connectivity, innovation, and symbolism: Trionda pays tribute to Mexico, Canada and the U.S. as hosts of the 2026 World Cup

Adidas has unveiled the Trionda, the 15th consecutive match ball supplied for a FIFA World Cup by the manufacturer in a relationship that dates back more than 50 years. The official ball of the 2026 FIFA World Cup features a design that combines technological innovation and strong cultural symbolism.

With its aesthetic in shades of red, green, and blue, the ball pays tribute to Mexico, Canada, and the United States, the three host countries of the tournament that will bring together millions of fans from around the world.

More than a sports object, Trionda represents a symbol of unity and progress. Incorporating Adidas's latest Connected Ball technology, this ball not only celebrates the union of three nations but also seeks to transform the way refereeing decisions are made and the experience of football is lived on the largest international stage.

    A tribute to three nations

    The name Trionda comes from the combination of "Tri" and "Onda," reflecting the three waves that symbolize the host countries. Its fluid design of four panels, with red, green, and blue colors, integrates triangular shapes that visually unite Mexico, the United States and Canada.

    Each nation is represented with distinctive graphic elements: the star for the United States, the maple leaf for Canada, and the eagle for Mexico. These icons are featured both in prints on the panels and in subtle embossed engravings, creating a unique texture that combines aesthetics and functionality.

    The golden finish evokes the World Cup trophy, completing a design that symbolizes the tournament.

    Innovation in the service of the game

    Beyond the visual aspect, Trionda is designed to maximize performance. The new four-panel construction, with deep seams and strategically placed embossed lines, is intended to ensure flight stability and precise control even in adverse weather conditions. The embossed engravings also enhance grip when dribbling or striking the ball in the rain.

    The major innovation comes with the evolution of the Connected Ball technology. The motion chip, now integrated into a side panel with counterweights in the other three, offers superior balance. This system collects high-precision data and sends it in real-time to the VAR, helping referees detect every ball touch, speed up offside decisions, and reduce the time spent on contentious plays such as possible handballs.

  • An experience for fans and players

    Adidas has not only thought about elite players but also about fans. Trionda is already available in stores and online.
