Telstar. Questra. Fevernova. Jabulani.

Add Trionda to the long list of memorable signature match balls used for World Cup matches.

The adidas Trionda — a colorful mix of blue, green and red on a new four-panel construction — was introduced as the official ball for the 2026 World Cup in October 2025.

Three-color scheme for the Trionda pays tribute to the three host countries for the 2026 World Cup: Canada (red), Mexico (green) and the United States (blue). Inside each color wave on the Trionda there is iconography representing each host nation: Maple leaf for Canada, an eagle for Mexico and a star for the United States.

Since 1970, adidas has been FIFA's official ball supplier for the men's World Cup.
