The Adidas Trionda is a football produced by Adidas. It is the official match ball of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States. [1] [2] It will be introduced on October 2, 2025. The ball is stitched together from just four panels, the smallest number yet for a FIFA World Cup ball. [3]

Etymology

Trionda is created from the combination of the prefix "tri-" in English, which means "three", referring to the number of countries hosting the tournament, and "onda", which in Spanish means "wave", thus "Triple Wave". [4] [5]
