Description
The Trionda's membrane is made of four thermally bonded polyurethane panels, the lowest number for any FIFA World Cup match ball so far. Like with the Al Rihla in 2022, its surface is textured with debossed macro and micro patterns (specifically on the ball's icons), meant to improve the ball's flight stability, swerve and grip in wet conditions. The ball also features "connected ball technology," a side-mounted inertial measurement unit (IMU) chip inside one of the four panels (instead of suspended within the bladder like the Al Rihla) to provide the video assistant referee (VAR) with highly accurate ball movement data within seconds. This technology was developed with FIFA and Kinexon based in Munich. The ball's color scheme and symbols are inspired by the iconography of the three nations – red with a maple leaf for Canada, green with a golden eagle's head for Mexico, and blue with a five-pointed star for the United States. • Illustration — The Trionda Final The Trionda Final was announced by Adidas on July 6, 2026 as the official match ball to be used for the semifinals, third place match and final. It features a gold, black, and red color scheme, with the host cities' names printed on it.
