The countdown to the 2026 World Cup already has a new protagonist. FIFA and Adidas officially presented the TRIONDAthe ball with which the matches of the next World Cup will be played that, for the first time in history, will have three countries as venues: United States, Mexico and Canada. The spherical revelation, loaded with the latest symbolisms and technology, marks one of the most anticipated milestones in the preparations for the tournament.
Why is it called Trusion?
The name was not chosen at random. TRIONDA It combines two concepts: the “Tri”, which refers to the three hosts of the global event, and the “wave”, understood as wave of energy, movement and cultural connection. That idea is reflected in a design that mixes the visual and the symbolic: white base and three dynamic stripes in red, green and blue, the representative colors of the organizing countries. Each section, in addition, integrates national icons: the Arce leaf of Canada, the Mexican eagle and the American star. The golden flashes that cross the surface allude to the FIFA World Cup trophy, closing a tribute to the largest football stage.
The technology behind the 2026 World Cup ball
Beyond the aesthetic, the BALL BY TECHNICAL INNOVATION. It is built with just four panels, the lowest number in the recent history of the World Cups. This format seeks greater stability in the flight and precision in the blows, with deep seams and an almost imperceptible relief that improves adhesion in rain or moisture conditions. The geometry of their waves converges in triangles that evoke the union of the three headquarters. All this makes triona an evolution against previous models such as Al Rihla (Qatar 2022) and the remembered Brazuca (Brazil 2014).
Another of the outstanding advances is the incorporation of the connected ball technologya sensor of 500 Hz that records each touch and transmits data in real time to the VAR system. This resource was already tested successfully in the last World Cup and is now refined to provide even more precision in key plays, especially in off -game decisions. “Adidas has created an emblematic ball that embodies the unity and passion of host countries. I am looking forward to seeing the first goals with this ball,” he said Gianni Infantino, president of La Fifaduring the presentation ceremony.
The emergence of the trion is added to other recent ads around the World Cup: from the presentation of official pets to the opening of the ticket sales process, which already has more than 4.5 million applications registered in 216 countries. With the final raffle planned for December 5 in Washington DC, the ball has already begun to roll in the countdown to a World Cup that promises to be the largest in history.
Its estimated price is 170 dollars (150 euros) In the international market. Around 680 thousand Colombian pesos.
