FIFA has unveiled Trionda, the official match ball for the 2026 World Cup, and it has been proudly manufactured in Sialkot, Pakistan by Forward Sports.
Designed by Adidas, the ball represents the unity of the three host nations: Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
The achievement marks another milestone for Sialkot, which continues its remarkable legacy of producing official FIFA World Cup balls for 2014, 2018, 2022, and now 2026, solidifying Pakistan’s reputation for sporting excellence on the global stage.
The name Trionda, meaning “three waves” in Spanish, reflects the collaboration between the host countries. Its red, green, and blue color scheme draws inspiration from their national colors, while gold details represent the FIFA World Cup Trophy. The design also includes a maple leaf for Canada, an eagle for Mexico, and a star for the United States.
Built with a new four-panel structure, Trionda offers greater flight stability and grip in all weather conditions. It also features advanced technology, including a 500Hz motion sensor chip that records every movement of the ball. This data will connect directly to the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system to improve officiating precision, especially for offside calls.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup, co-hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States, and expanded to 48 teams, will be the largest in history.
