Zurich: FIFA has revealed the official match ball for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a tournament that will be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The new ball, designed by German sportswear giant Adidas, combines advanced technology with a design symbolizing the unity of the three host nations.
Named “Tri Onda”, the term merges “Tri” (meaning three) and the Spanish word “Onda” (meaning wave), reflecting both innovation and collaboration.
The ball features a striking combination of red, blue, and green, each representing one of the host nations. Iconic national symbols — the maple leaf for Canada, the eagle for Mexico, and the star for the United States — are integrated into the design.
According to FIFA, the patterns on the ball symbolize harmony and connection, celebrating the shared spirit of football that transcends borders ahead of the world’s most anticipated sporting event.
